JAMES D. PITCOCK III

Jim was a very important person to me. We shared many great times. Any time spent with Jim would not be dull. He was energetic and adventuresome. Scuba diving, skiing, parasailing. We flew in helicopters, prop planes and a glider. Remembering any occasion spent with Jim inevitably leaves me Laughing. He was very funny. A handsome happy fella with a great sense of humor. That and his enthusiasm made all things fun. It seemed to me Jim was just as interested in going to Paris Texas as Paris...

Doug Jr. I have not seen you in over 50 years, but I was close to Uncle Doug and Aunt Gladys, having learned canasta, painting, and other good things from your Mom. Many pictures of visiting when they lived in Galveston. My Mom was your Aunt Eleanor and Dad, Jack (I know he was sometimes a big pain to his family). Anyway, I have read about all you and your wife "Puddie" and what you have done for humanity and I am so sad for you to have lost your only son a few days ago. I think...

Godspeed Jim, you're safe now.

To Mr. Pitcock and family, Although most of my memories of Jim are from Ms Kestenberg's class from 6th grade in Kolter, I remember Jim as being funny, nice, and I enjoyed sitting near him. We played many a sandlot game of baseball at Godwin Park together. After elementary our groups of friends changed and the last time I saw him was a few years after high school. As always he was friendly and upbeat and fun to talk to. So many share in your sorrow and our thoughts are with you.

I am so saddened to learn of Jim's death. Growing up just a few doors down, I knew Jim from elementary school through high school; for years after that, I'd see him on the street and have very interesting chats with him. I heart goes out to you especially given all your losses, and my thoughts are with you.

What a loss to you and to his friends. I knew Jim from Kolter onward and I always remember him smiling. He was so very smart, and friendly to all.
Sandi Wisenberg (Bellaire 1974)

Mr. Pitcock, You don't know how sorry I am for Jim's passing. I will cherish my memories with him forever and miss him so much. He can finally rest.

May the peace and grace of God be with you always.

Dear Doug, Jim was my first boyfriend when we attended Kolter together. I'm currently living in Oregon but mom keeps me updated about my friends. She shared the sad news of Jim's passing and I want you to know how much he meant to me. I wish I had not put off contacting him in the past few years as I considered him a life-long friend and thought about him often. I'll remember his smile and laugh always.
My thoughts are with you as you grieve. I hope good memories bring you comfort.
