I learned of Jimmy's death just two days ago from my brother, Martin, in Burlington, NC. I send my sincere condolences to all the family members and especially my cousins and kin, all of whom I have fond remembrances of growing up with as a youth. Best Regards, and my Love to all. Tony

I will miss Jim, after having been companions for almost 16 years before his sobering stroke, and then confidants via phone after his move south.
I'll be forever grateful for the kindness of the North Carolina McAtees for making his last 6 years enjoyable, surrounded by family, and especially his son Kirk, for providing a home for him.
Both light and darkness dance together all ways always.

Love-
Stephanie

To all the McAtees: I know what a close and loving family you are and, thus, how hard it is to let go of Jimmy from this earth. He is peaceful now and joining his family who has already passed. Hang together -- it helps!
