Not sure what to say?

I am sad to learn of Jim's death. We met in the 7th grade in Abilene and played football together along with many other sports through high school. I hung out at Jim's house and was always welcomed there by his parents, Lewis and Bea, and Jim's younger brother Mike. One fun memory from 7th grade is when Jim and I arranged to meet two girls for a "date" at the Metro Theater to see John Wayne in "North to Alaska. (for those old enough it was in an old Quonset Hut on Butternut). Jim's mother...

I did not know until yesterday that Jimmy had passed away in February. This makes me very sad. I had known Jimmy since 2nd grade at Bowie Elem. in Abilene. He was so cute, and I had fun swiping his Cub Scout hat and running off with it at recess. He was obviously an outstanding athlete. I was a Bowie cheerleader, cheering for our team with Jimmy at quarterback, of course. And I remember so many summer league baseball games when he was the star pitcher. Jimmy will be missed - but we´ll see...

It is sad to hear that Jimmy has passed. He was my beloved cousin and almost like another brother. I was with him through his baseball from Little League through high school plus one of his games at TCU. He and Mike and my brother,David, spent so many hours, and years, playing ball in our yard. It is hard to lose him but great to know that he is once again with Lewis and Bea as well as Jim and Grace. I will carry fond memories of Jimmy and will see him again when that time comes. Ted...

I am Jimmy´s cousin, Linda, and grew up living across the street from him and his family in Abilene, Texas. I loved them all dearly and have wonderful memories of Jim growing up, especially the many, many nights watching him and my brother, David, playing baseball. Our neighborhood kids could usually be found playing whatever sport was in season in one of our yards, building forts, or playing Hide and Seek or having homemade ice cream on summer nights. I would not take a million dollars...

I absolutely adored Jim and it was a pleasure to work alongside him at Corley. He will forever be missed and loved beyond measure.

This is beautiful. We love you Uncle Jimmy Love, Kelly Chase

My parents were best friends with Bea and Lewis and our families spent a lot of time together. They were like family. We went to church together. Jim was a groomsman at my wedding. So long ago and so many memories. Peace of the Lord be with you Jim.

Had some great times visiting with LJ. I can tell you he loved his family, and his sports. I was so glad the day he gave his life to the Lord. We will see him again.

It is a privilege to share this time as we remember and honor the life of your loved one. During this time of grief, we wish you comfort and peace.
