We will miss the Greatest Grandpa ever. For some it will be the hot cocoa with cool whip, some will be proud to carry on his name, some will miss hearing the basketball stories, and for the youngest it will be the lassoing of the foot stool with his oxygen tubing! But we will all be proud that we were almost as pretty as Grandpa! Most of all we all agree we will miss the smiles and hugs we got when we came to visit. As Noah said, "God bless Papa Jim. I love Him." That's how we all feel, and...

James Wilson was a competitor; a winner at whatever he was doing.Whatever he did, he expected to be the best.Whatever he was selling, he expected to be top salesman.As a manager,he expected the salesmen he managed to do their best.If you wanted a job done right,you called 'Big Jim'.
I never had the pleasure of working for or with him, but I did play cards with him.He expected to win every game he played.Even with his mind failing,he
won the last 4 games of cards he played.He left...

Sometimes when I talk about Grandpa I cry a little.But Grandpa has taught us lots of memories.Happy memories,funny memories; and we should never forget about him.
And you know how sad we are right now? Well, we should split that sadness in half and throw half of it away - cuz we all know that someday in Heaven we will be with him again.

It's been one month since my boyfriend of 57 years went on to Heaven without me.God walks me through each day as I learn this new life of living alone.
I miss James every day, but he left me with a wonderful family, loving friends and so many priceless memories.Soon I will join him at our final address.Time passes so fast, it will be in the blink of an eye.
God bless you all...Glenda

James was always very special to me. He was my protector growing up. When I was little in Arkansas I would always wait up for him so he could tell me about the movie he saw or the party he went to. He was always playing pranks on me, which didn't always sit well with mom. She would tell him he was scaring me, which was sometimes true, but usually he made me laugh. I always looked up to him and valued his opinion very much. I always admired him for the way he conducted himself in his private...
