Not sure what to say?

My first memory of Jim was when I was about 6 years old and he was in our driveway with a van he had bought from my dad (Charlie Gripp). I was so scared of this giant guy and his 2 big Doberman's. He turned out to be one of the nicest guys and best lawyers I've ever known. He got my dad out of many tickets. He also became my lawyer and he was the best at his job. He always cared and was there whenever I needed advice. He was a great attorney and friend. He will be missed. RIP Jim.

I knew Jimmy through the legal world. He was an established lawyer when I started. Jimmy was a nice guy and never took advantage of a young lawyer that didn't know a thing about the practice of law. As years past we had many cases together and he was always a pleasure to work with. Jimmy will be missed. The world would be a better place with with more Jimmy Waters in it. God bless you Jimmy.

you were a great man and we will miss you more

than you will ever know . you are with sue now so


both of you rest in peace

I will miss Jim,his legal advice his jokes. I Have known Jim for over 35 years. It's a very hard loss to know that his kind heart plus all that knowledge is gone to the heavens. I will miss you Jim alot!

I'm so sorry for your loss
Jim was a good friend to my dad, Doug Goodell, for many years and I have a lot of fond memories of that time.

I am truly sorry for your loss. Your dad was a great man and will be missed very deeply and I want to say jim, u can see mom now and thank u for being there

Sorry to hear about Jim's passing. He was our families attorney for many years. He was always willing to help us out and provide any legal advice/services. He was a sweet friendly and funny guy that was loved by many.

RIP Jim

Jim was a big guy.....very big! He had to be, I guess, to house that big heart of his.

When my classmates and I began law school, not without a good measure of trepidation and anxiety, we were fortunate to have the Senior, Jim, who gladly went out of his way to "mother hen" and mentor us through the process. This didn't end with law school, either. Jim was a bright guy who knew what he was doing and out in the practice, if you needed advice from a peer, he was always a willing ear...

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing! He was a bright light in the legal community and I always enjoyed having cases and mediations with him. He always had a smile and was upbeat and truly cared about his clients. He will be missed.May God bless his family with strength and peace during this very sad time.
