James Robert Alter, Sr.

I got my Harley late 99. Rob and I rode whenever we could through the winter.
Good thing we did because the annual West Branch would my first group ride. Jim kept me close. The Doobie Brothers played, at the campground , it was a great show.
I still have my ride pin. I would light Gwen´s cigarettes with my dashboard lighter at stoplights, lol
I miss you Jim, you are special, much love

When Jimmy, awesome guitar player, and Jeff , "the good son " - drums , played live music together for the first time in front of crowd of music students, family and friends at SOUTHERN THUMB in Richmond some 31 years ago or so , I was standing next to BIG Jim, we were bopping to the music when our boys started playing Black Sabbath´s IRONMAN !!Big Jim turns to me , remarks enthusiastically " Did you know your son could play drums like that ""WELL DID YA "!!!!He was beaming listening to the boys -- and they did a heck of a job; loud and raw; on that song
I´m sure you´re listening to your own personal blues concert ; B.B., STEVIE RAY , ROBERT JOHNSON ,
up there in the heavens somewhere , and you´re smiling and bopping to the music. REST PEACEFULLY DEAR FRIEND
SUZANNE PORTER and FAMILY

Jim was a great guy enjoyed working with him and playing golf god has a good one

Great golfing buddy. The four of us had a great week at Myrtle Beach many years ago. Many happy times and many laughs.

As our Caseville neighbors, Gwen and Jim hold a special place in my heart. Jim earned many Jesus points over the years and I know he and Mark will stand on the sandy shoreline sharing many laughs. Rest in peace dear Jim.
