I knew Jim through racquetball. I was just a beginner when I started playing with Jim. He was the type of man that took the time to coach and guide me to be a better player.

I got to know him as a person between games. During these rest times I learned that Jim was an intelligent, thoughtful and caring man. I’ll miss him greatly.

Goodbye friend.

To Jim and the Boyson Family, our condolences. Jim was a good friend and also a pleasure to talk to and be with. We will miss him on the racquetball court as well, were he was a great competitor. We'll miss you Jim.

God bless Jim, Kathy and the Boyson family. Jim has a heart of gold and is missed every day, especially those days we all walk into the racquetball courts where we enjoyed many years of great fun together. There are a lot of great memories both on the court and socially with Jim and Kathy. Thanks for being the wonderful person you are and for the great times together. Your friends , Rodney & Dena

A Boyson all the way! A real Family Man. Could take a car apart and put it back together in his sleep. Love was the operative word when it came to Jimmy, my cousin. We will all miss you . E J Boyson, Charlotte, Tennessee.

Our deepest sympathies go out to Jim's family, especially Kathy. When Jim and Kathy found each other, it was a true love story. Like the person who wrote before me, I didn't know Jim that long, but he was the nicest guy you could ever meet.....To my sweet Kathy, my BFF....I'll always be there for you...Jim will be too in his own way. Thinking of Amie, Joe, Jared and Kylie...how they will miss Jim. Especially Grampa Jim....Love always, Pammy (Larry and Bluebelle too).

I knew Jim for a very short time but he really had an impact on me. Its not often you meet people nowadays that are so genuine and nice. Jim was the courier for the bank I worked for and we would all look forward to him coming daily. He was never in and out, even when he was running late. He always made it a point to say hi and see how we were doing, and he meant it. He seemed to really enjoy talking and I loved to listen to him. I couldn't believe how smart he was. He seemed to know so much about everthing. He would discuss in detail the oil issue going on and he would talk in detail about the whole toyota thing. He was so interesting to listen to because he had so much knowledge. I still expect to see him come in everyday and my heart breaks that I won't be able to listen to his stories anymore. And you could definitly tell how much he loved his family. He was always talking about them and especially his wife. He was just such a friendly man. When I found out about his passing, I have to say, the world felt different. Its amazing to me that someone I have only known for a couple of months could have that impact on me. He seemed to of accomplished so much in his life and was really enjoying his life and family. I know he is not really gone but just different. He will be watching from above. My prayers go out to his family and friends. May you rest in peace Jim and know that you will be dearly missed.
