I am both shocked and sad to learn of Jimmy's death. He always led with a good spirit, integrity, and steady vision, as a Christian educator, a deacon, and an administrator. When the order of deacon was established, he helped us to gain acceptance and to interpret the order to the UMC. He was gifted in leadership, negotiation, and vision. We are so much stronger because of Jimmy. Thank you, Jimmy! And my sympathy to Joy and all of Jimmy's family.

Joy,
We will all miss Jimmy's joy and integrity. He was always reaching out to include others; he always had good things to say about others, and he sought to bring people together. Your friendship and his has meant much to us. Know you are in my prayers.

Joy,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I have many wonderful memories of first getting to know you and Jimmy during the years we all served as Christian Educators and Diaconal Ministers in the Mississippi Conference, enjoying the fellowship of our MS CEF chapter and sharing experiences at National CEF Conferences. Jimmy has been such a great leader in our United Methodist Church and a friend and mentor to so many. He will surely be missed. May God's loving presence...
