James Linn

Prayers going up for Jimmy Linn & his family.He helped me with a case in Spearman,Tx & I was only 23. Jimmy helped me to win child support for my 5 little babies for 15 years.He represented me in court & was so tall & strong.I was so proud of him as I know all his family is.What a fine man.God out did himself when HE created Mr Linn.

I'm very sorry to learn just now of the passing of Attorney James Linn. I met him once or twice when he was visiting with his client Imelda Marcos. I especially remember a pleasant and leisurely lunch with both at a Chinese restaurant in Manila's Super Mall in 2003 or 2004. Attorney Linn was an interesting and courteous gentleman. My condolences to his grieving family. I wish you the very best.

I caddied for Jimmy Linn when he lived in Spearman and drove down to play at Phillips Country Club in Borger. Later, when I started playing golf, I beat him in a match that went into an extra hole. It was a par five. I sank a thirty-footer for a birdie and he missed his 12-footer. Years later, after I had been admitted to the UT Law School, I ran into him and told him the good news. "Why do you want to be a lawyer?" he asked. "Well, you always drove a new car every year." His response: "I make my money in wheat. Besides, you don't have the temperament to be a lawyer." So, I decided to go to graduate school and got a Ph.D. in history. I spent thirty-five years as a university professor. Jimmy was right. I would have made a lousy lawyer.

Dad, on Christmas Eve we missed your love, beautiful smile, twinkling eyes, and telling us we could stay as long as we wanted, but you were going to bed!! We missed your search for empty, used envelopes to write each of our names on! Our pain is lessened by knowing that you celebrated with your Mom, Dad, sister Louise, best friend and Mom to your children, Darlene, and with Randy. I love and miss you so much....

XOXO,

Dear Rhonda, Jim and Rex,

Sorry to hear of your dad's recent passing. I wish you strength in your time of grief. I've a few photos of your dad in downtown Spearman in front of my grandfathers cattle business and a couple at our home when he and Darlene came over. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Linn family,
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. I have fond memories of parties that your mom and dad attended at our little house in Spearman. They would dance into the wee hours to big-band music. Boy, could they all jitterbug! Somewhere I have a photo of Rex sitting in his highchair with a big hunk of cheese in his hand. It is so precious to me now. Please know that I am lifting you up in prayer.

Dad, I'm missing you so much already.

I love you,
Rhonda

To the family of Jimmie Linn, I'm so sorry about his death. You were neighbors to us when you lived in Spearman. I can remmeber the boys playing in vacant lot across the street from where you lived. May
you have only good memories of your Dad. I enjoyed hearing stories about your Father in Ok.City A neighbor. Patty Spoonemore

Rex, Jim and Rhonda,
You were all blessed with such a dynamic and compelling father. And, such a kind and good mother, Darlene. Our thoughts of sympathy are with you at this time of parting. Both of my parents are gone from this world, but I sense them close to me often. I'm sure your dad and mom will be looking out for all of you for the rest of your lives.
Love,
John, and Vicki Hendrix

Rhonda, Jimbo and Rex. I was sorry to hear of Jimmie's devastating stroke and recent death. I'm also a Spearmanite who moved to Oklahoma City along with Jimmie and J. D. Helms. Your dad was certainly an awesome attorney and man. May you cherish your memories.
Patty Myers (Groves, Sparks)

Linn Family, We were so sorry to hear of Jimmy death. He was a master of his profession. We moved from Spearmen to Oklahoma about the time Jimmy & J.D, Helms did. In the early 80's they helped us with business problems and we were treated with the same respect and professionalism as all their clients were. We will always be greatful.
My God Bless and be with your through this very stressful time.

Rhonda, Jimbo, and Rex; Sorry for the loss of your dad. Even though it has been many years since you left, Spearman still thinks of you guys as "one of us". Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Rex, Jim, and Rhonda: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked at Linn, Helms, Kirk and Burkett Law Firm back in the 70's. I will never forget those treasured times or the memories I have of your father while I worked there. He was extremely gracious and full of wisdom. Watching him in court before a jury was exciting. He was an extrodinary man and I enjoyed his humor. I learned a lot from him during those years and I will always be grateful for his kindness, his stories and his humor he provided whenever I saw him or would run into him even after I left the firm. He truly is a legacy and I know you all will miss him deeply. My thoughts and my prayers are with you and your families through these sad times.

We did not know your father but want you to know his service to this country allowed us to stand tall during a difficult time. He sounds like he was a great man and cared dearly for his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
Bob and Diana Williams

So saddened by Mr. Linn's passing. He was a true and respected friend. Jimmy and Donna McMurry (Oklahoma City)

Rex and Jimmy: We still tell stories about your dad. He was a great orator. A gentle giant. What a pleasure to know him and your mother. They will always be in our memories--- Jimmy and Donna McMurry

Rex: You have been blessed with a great father and mentor for all these years. We will all miss Jimmy but God has taken him to a better place where he can rest in the peace he deserves. One of the greatest friends I have ever had. A one of a kind larger than life itself. I know how proud you are of him and can I hope be comforted knowing that you did all you could to make his life a little easier these last few years. I am said I cannot be there tomorrow to say good bye but have a court date that cannot be postponed.

I am sorry to hear about Mr. Linn's passing. I got to know him when I was a reporter. It was always fascinating to talk with him...and he was always so gracious with his time. I keep very fond memories of Jimmy Linn, his knowledge of the law and the stories he told.

Our lives will be much lonlier without our cousin. He has been a great person and has meant so much to us. Thanks for my life as I am sure I would not be here if not for you. We love you Jimbo, Rhonda and Rex. Sheila and Lester

Rex, Rhonda, and Jimbo & families~
I am so sorry for your great loss. It's hard to loose a parent~my dad died over 10 years ago and there's not a day I don't think of him and the lessons he taught me. You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time. Gina

A group of us were on a golf outing in Palm Srings. Mr. Linn came over and told us of playing golf at a high dollar place in NY. Mr. Linn said the started told them they would have to go off the back nine. Seeing no one on the front nine Mr. Linn inquired as to why. " I say sir,reply-ed the starter, there's already a foursome on the front nine." The man could tell a story.
