Not sure what to say?

Although it´s been many years since Jim left us I often realize he is still with me. Just yesterday I shared with my husband one of the lessons I learned from Jim. We truly live on through our interactions with others.

So sorry to hear of Jim`s death. We worked together at AGL for a long time. Our condolances to the family.

I just found out from a friend in Rome, Georgia About Jim's death. WOW! What a history and life he had. I worked with Jim at Atlanta Gas Light Company for 10 years and as retired military we never talked much about our military experiences. I am so impressed with his military background and other accomplishments during his life time. He was one of the best bosses I ever worked for and will really be missed. "God Bless him and all of his family and love-ones."

I just found out about "Mr. Tate" as that is what I called him when I worked for him for 10 years. He was my first boss at AGL and I cannot thank him enough for hiring me and giving me a chance to work for him. I always thought of him as my "second dad" and I am so glad he and Mrs. Tate had the chance meet my parents when they came to Atlanta as they were always worried about how I was doing. After they met the Tate's their worries were over - I will always remember Mr. Tate and thank him...

I just found out today when I went to work at East Cooper. My heart is heavy. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, now and always! xo Cindy ps...I still talk about the moment that his darling wife came to see him at the hospital, just last week I believe, and as she left, she asked her assistant to help her out of her wheelchair so that she might kiss her beloved good bye. Those two were like high school sweethearts all over again. Mr. Tate will be missed.

Jim was truly the "Keeper of the Flame."

Jim was such a wonderful mentor and teacher. Even now I'm often reminded of lessons learned during our years together at AGL. May God bless you all in a special way during this time of loss.

I am sorry for the loss. Through his obituary I noticed he had many accomplishments in his life, and he lived to be 93, which is amazing. May the family take comfort in the wonderful hope that God's word holds out for Mr. Tate (John 5:28).

I worked with Jim at Atlanta Gas Light Company and he was one of the Greatest Gentlemen. God bless his family.

Jim Tate hired me at Atlanta Gas Light Company in 1985. He was a tough boss with a huge heart. He will be missed.
