James J. "Jim" Ransom Jr.

Camille and family:

I spoke with Jim Parsons this morning and learned of your tragic loss. Only a few weeks ago, I told Terry that I should call you and Jim to come get some tomatoes from our garden. I now regret that I let the opportunity pass. We always enjoyed the time spent with you at Cahaba Oaks and will be forever thankful that Jim passed thru our lives in a special way, even if only for a short time. Know that the Ransom family will be in our daily thoughts prayers. Love,...

Dear Camille and family,
Jim had many friends and admirers in the Raines family, and we all send our condolences on the loss of this good, strong man. I personally treasure so many happy memories of high school and college years, our hunting and fishing adventures, Jim's great sense of humor, the hospitality of Jim's mother and father toward their son's many friends.
With deepest sympathy,
Howell Raines

Camille, Jim and Wesley,

Camille,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Jim was a fine man and will be missed.

Even though I hadn't seen Jimmy in a long time I will remember him riding in the same carpool to Ensley High School. Then found out the house we bought (and love) he built. I knew he would grow up to be a fine gentleman. Our sympathy goes to his family in this time of sorrow.

Mrs. Ramson & Family,

I have worked with Jim for many years in the City of Vestavia Hills Inspections & Building Safety Department. Jim surely will missed by all. He was always a kind and friendly person and a joy to work with. May God be with you in your time of sorrow.

Camille and family,
Please know that my prayers are with you in your great loss. What a fine man Jim was and I'm sure he will be greatly missed.
May God bless you all in your journey through this terribly difficult time.

Mr. Ransom is a fine gentleman and will be sorely missed. God's speed. His family will be in our prayers.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. These words often comfort me in times of need.
In you, O lord, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame. In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me and save me. Be to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress, to save me, for your are my rock and my fortress. Psalm 71
