James David Westmoreland

Just found out last night Jimmy had Passed On. We had been friends since we had both were at North Wood. Had not seen him in years you know how it is when people goes their separate ways. Me my Dad was also in the Army so always on the move. But back in our North Wood days Jimmy and I an Alan Hafstead were always getting in trouble I think we stayed in the office more than in class. I will miss him dearly. RIP my old friend see you on the flip side .

I hadnt seen Jimmy in 30 years, but he recognized me as soon as I walked up to him a few years ago.
He immediately starting reminiscing about our junior and senior high school days... remembering things we had done I had long forgotten.
We were bonded forever I guess by our mischievous natures ...and music.
He was the first person to fire me from a band...and also the first to share a passion for all things musical.
I was astounded by the width of his taste and will be...

He was an exceptionally talented guitarist, singer, songwriter. He lived life on his terms; stubborn as a mule yet generous, gracious, well-read, sensitive and quick with a joke. Look him up on youtube under J.D. Westmoreland. Give a listen to his music. His spirit resides in those songs. Godspeed Jimmy. We will miss you.

Jim was a smart and talented man. He was a wonderful musician. He had a contagious smile. He was always kind and sweet. Prayers for comfort to his family and numerous friends. Jim will be greatly missed.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to all the family. Just
Know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

please edit my previous poast from yesterday for james Westmoreland - his father's name was Major John instead of James
