Jim Pitts

I grew up in Virginia till 9th grade and there were 4 childhood friends who I spent every day with. Jimmy was one of them. I have tried to contact him over the years but have never been able to locate him being I have lived in Texas. I just tonight googled his name and saw the sad news. He was a great friend. An excellent athlete and so down to earth I loved him and so did my parents. I was at his house so much with Ned who passed in 9th grade and was also so great a kid, and Mike and Lee...

Thoughts and prayers for the entire Pitts family !!

I am so heartbroken over the loss of Jim. He was such as exception human being; always kind, cheerful, and caring. I will never forget the generosity and love he showed me, his cousin, over the last 60+ years. God bless you, Jim. My thoughts and prayers are with Pat and the rest of Jim´s family.

Jimmy you always made a point of talking to me whenever I saw you out in public or at the reunions. I will always treasure our last conversation when you talked about your health. You were so positive and upbeat and a shining star. Jimmy I will miss you. The world has lost a great person.

We remember Jim exactly as described in his loving obituary. We thought of the three Pitts brothers as the best, most charming and sophisticated team of carpenters we ever dealt with. Everyone who got to know this special young man shares his family's sense of deep loss.

Debbie & I are so sorry to hear about your loss Pat. Jimmy was a great person and a great friend to The Class of 1974 and the Albemarle Renegade Reunion. He will be missed. John Nelms

I have known and worked with Jim and all the Pitts boys on many projects, over many years. I remember meeting Jim on a job site a year or two ago shortly after my parents had passed. Jim just stopped what he was doing walked up to me and said this guy needs a hug. That's the kind of person he was. He will be missed greatly by all that knew him. My heart goes out to all the Pitts family.

The world has lost a great man. As a child and teenager I just loved being around him and your whole family. As an adult I have the awareness of the superior qualities Jimmy had that made being around him such a pleasure. Sending my love to all of you.

Pat - Sending you and your boys my deepest condolences. Life is fragile I pray you are flooded with beautiful memories. Kelly
