Jim was always smiling and happy when I saw him. Even a year later, I know it is difficult to believe he's no longer with us. Love always.

I will never forget the night he came over to help me when a rabid raccoon had found its way between the front and screen door at my parents in Victory. I was home alone at 15 for the weekend. Jimmy to the rescue. Always willing to help. He was an Icon. So sorry to hear of this. My deepest sympathy. -hope

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Remembering the dinners you so graciously invited me to - although I think it was to have a good laugh watching Zoey and Finn play together. Be safe and healthy, and God willing will see each other again.

Jim and I spent many hours with the monopoly game. Neither one of us was willing to give up until we were out of money. I enjoyed the times we spent together in Victory. I'm glad he married a sweetheart like Sally, her mom and dad and mine were really close friends, so we got to know each other over the years in Victory. May God be with you all and you mourn the loss of this wonderful man, who blessed your lives!

My email somehow signed my granddaughter's name of Brittany Jackson but it is from myself Sandy (Bonner) Miller Class of '66. My heart goes out to the family. Jim was such a happy guy, always something funny to say. He sure enjoyed our class reunions.

Many A fond memory has two kindred spirits spinning yarns together while processing a farmers bounty. I am sure they are both looking down on us and swapping more stories as they play catch up.

May the pleasant memories always be easily at hand. Our deepest sympathies.

Jimmy was a all around genuine great guy who would go above and beyond to help others. Always offering great ideas and advice on a variety of subjects. He had a sweet determined nature and will be dearly missed.

Dear Sally and family, please know how deeply saddened we are with the passing of Jim. He was a great friend and lover of all things nature. Tommy spent many an amazing day out fishing with Jim, and even with their recent illnesses that stopped their fishing trips, that was his favorite thing to do. We will always remember you with a smile, a laugh, and a need for some good cooking... even if you wouldn't give up your cole slaw recipe! We hope you are having a crab cook up there in heaven Jim and that they are letting you do all the cooking! Thank you God for the gift of memory that lets us hold him close even after he has gone to be with you. Love Tommy, Gwen, and Kenny Allen

I am so sorry to hear that Jim has died. We were close as kids, but lost touch after we graduated from Red Creek Central. Except for HS reunions or family funerals. Jim is my second cousin, and I always got a big hug when I saw him. He was such a sweet and loving guy. Sending love and a hug. Judy Bigelow Bobrek

Jim was a very good friend of mine. He was a good cook, story teller, and "sharer" of information about his past and a joy to fish or visit with. He will be missed.
