James Arthur Nelson Jr.

I was Jimmy's roommate during the last days of law school. Humorous anecdotes are too numerous to relate but be it known his humor was known by so many. His passing marks an end point to kind, gentle professionalism embodying a solid core of honesty, integrity, true community and family values, and dedication to his faith. In short, his high standards are difficult to ever fully replace. Rest easy old friend.

Having shared a couple of years living on the sixth floor of Granville Towers with Jimmy at Carolina, i am saddened by this news. Many of us on six were not members of fraternities but we referred to our floor as S igma I ota Xi which tells you what a brotherhood we had. While it has been a few years since I spoke to him, he was of great help to my daughter when she was at ECU and she, like Jimmy, is a Campbell Law graduate and an ADA in Duplin County. I can only hope that i will experience...

As a law school classemate of Jim, I just remember his quiet unassuming and polite demeanor. He was truly one of the nicest guys in our class.
