Not sure what to say?

I was so sad to hear this news. I know Jim from doing several real estate transactions together. Throughout the years we got to know each other rather well.. I never told him this but I used him as a private mentor. I love the way he did business and handled himself so I paid very close attention. Doing business with Jim was like an art. Regardless who was on the other side of the transaction, It was important to Jim to end up with the win win situation . What a remarkable man

I knew Jimmy in our elemantary years. John was the smartest, Billy was the wheeler dealer with Tommy and Robert always trying to be like their brothers, Jimmy was the thinker. With a conscience, Jimmy was a polite, caring person who was a thinker who loved life and its challeges. He was agood man at all ages. I certainly will miss him but I also know he's in a better place.

I worked with Jim at HP in Charlotte back in the late 1980s and early nineties. When I moved to Charlotte in 1988 Jim was very welcoming and generous in offering mentoring and friendship. He had a great sense of humor and made working in the HP office fun. He also was a world class sales guy and everyone I know admired his professional success.

I would love to know if I was related to him, because my grandfather is from glasgow called David Shannon, looks quite similiar to him

I went to high school with Jim. He was in my class. Amazing football player, amazing friend. One of reunions he took the whole class on his yacht. He was charming, caring and had a heart of gold. Heaven has another angel. He will be missed. "I will always remember our reunion talks Jim and your kindness".

I knew Jim when he played football at ETSU. He was always so funny and always had a smile on his face. So sorry for your loss.

I am very sorry for your family’s loss. I knew Jim through Clint because Clint is my neighbor. I would talk to Jim every time he stopped Clint’s. We had good, meaningful conversations and he was always intentional with each conversation.

Leigh, I am so sorry for your loss. He was so young. Prayers for you!

I had the good fortune to work on a number of projects with Jim at Segra. We initially bonded over both being James Patrick, and every time I saw him he always had a great lesson, insight, or story to share. He was someone worthy of being emulated and was not only a great coworker, but a great man who will be truly missed.
