James Oakley Pruitt

Jim was my oldest and dearest friend. For 30 years we laughed and bickered like kids. It never occured to me for a moment that we wouldn't have the next 30 years to perfect it. I am profoundly sorry
for all who loved Jim.

Just received word of Jim's passing. I knew him in High School and he was one of the good guys. My heart goes out to his family.

I met Jim at Meigs. We were library aides together. He was a good friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. May God Bless you in your time of sorrow.

Jim was one of the nice guys at Meigs and Choctaw. I am sorry to hear of his passing.

I knew Jim in High School. His father and my father worked together in the Air Force. I remember when his dad passed away and what a hard time that was for Jim. He got through it and grew to become such a strong person. He will be missed by many.

Jim was a very kind and caring person and was always there if you needed help. He had a excellent wit and quick to laugh. You will be surely missed by all us that knew you.

I met Jim at Meigs JR HS in Fort Walton Beach and we roomed togther at Auburn during our sophmore year. While we had lost track of one another since we both married, I will never forget all the good times we shared. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

It was a pleasure to work with Jim for many years. He was always helpful and polite. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Jim was a person of gentleness and integrity whose efforts at love and loyalty were heroic.
