I remember so many wonderful Christmas parties I spent driving Ol' Red for Jim and will never forget we that worked the parties for Jim we were never treated like "the help" but were instead treated as good friends. He was a great guy, and a true Texas Gent. God speed Jim.

I raise a glass to an old friend. Semper fi.

Just today I was told about Mr. Stephenson, and I want to extend my sincere condolences. Jim - who we ALWAYS called Mr. Stephenson! - visited my cigar store, City Cigars, regularly. He and I would play cards, and he taught me a version of gin called Hollywood while he regularly thrashed me. He was always a welcome sight, and I will miss him. I am so very sorry for your loss. God Bless you all, from me and from the Family at City Cigars.

See you on the other side, Old friend. The South shall rise again. Always your friend, Skip Chilton

Jimmy was my buddy too. We treasure hunted together.
Happy trails Jimmy, until we meet again!

Jamie -- You have our deepest sympahy and regrets on the loss of your dad. March has been a difficult month. Regards, Joe Brophy

You will be missed and remembered with stories and laughter. A legacy of the best kind. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jamie, Lucy and the family.

Jimmy, some of the best times of my life involved you and some crazy horses on trail rides in the middle of a prairie somewhere. We always managed to make it home. Your sense of humor was as big as Texas. You will certainly be missed.
