The best of buddies!

We knew Jim approx 15 years enjoying his quick laugh, deep friendship and generous heart. We are so grateful that our grandson, Kemper, qualified to ride his quarter horse in Oklahoma City(December 2010) giving us the opportunity to spend several days with Jim. Jim drove to the fairgrounds every day to cheer for Kemper. The monthly phone calls to catch up with our families will be missed.

I knew Jim White for only a short period of my life, and I always annoyed him by calling him "Sir". But even when I learned to call him "Jim", I still thought of him as "Sir". I was in a very difficult part of my life when I worked with Jim, and I was in a new industry. Jim advised me as needed, partnered with me to develop training, and taught me so much. One of the biggest honors of my life is that Jim told me he considered me "a friend for life". I have no idea what prompted this wise man...

Jimmy,
I will always remember your great stories, warm smile and quick wit.
I'll also never forget all the great times we shared golfing with Marshall, Kelly, Kenny and the rest of the gang. You were a true gentleman and all of our lives were forever blessed by having had you as our friend.
I'm sure Papa Seeg will probably meet you at those pearly gates with a fine quarter horse, some ropes and big bottle of Old #7.
Happy Trails Cowboy!

Jimmy, I can't begin to list all of the teachings that I take with me from our times together. You were one of a kind and most likely the last remaining true gentlemen on earth. I look forward to the day we can sip some Jack together again. Rest in peace Cowboy and thanks for making this world a better place.
