so sorry to hear about snake my roomate at payne hall uga and good friend

Snake was legendary at the Chi Phi house in Athens! He was a wonderful friend to everyone he met.

As the widow of Johnny (Fat Man) Hadley, I bid a fond farewell to Snake. Many happy moments were spent with him or just recalling stories from Grady and UGA times. That's probably what Johnny and Snake are doing now. My deepest sympathies to Brook, Robin and their families.

"All Hail"; Term used to greet believers on road to Emmaus after the Ressurection by Jesus.(means heavenly peace & health to all. This was what you ( Snake) meant to all you met and knew. Through Morningside grammar school, Grady high school, "Toran's Tigers" and after you were my most unforgettable friend. Also at Mt. Paran Church of Gd in the eighties, we never lost track, and especially now. Enjoy the Streets of Gold, the Saints of old and Jesus who validated my ticket and I'll be along after a while. Praise God forever, it was great being your friend and greater in Eternity!
Much Agape Love

I have only had the pleasure of knowing him since last year when he moved to the Renaissance, where my mother had recently moved. What a great guy! She will miss him, and my brother and sister and I will, too. To his daughters and granddaughter: I am so sorry for your loss.

I remember Snake from Grady High School ... always liked his name. My prayers are for his family.

I first met 'Snake' at Grady High School. I was younger and really looked up to this Kind and Wonderful Man. 'Snake' always smiled and had something good to say. He always was very helpful to the younger students. Many Great Memories of a Great Man. My Prayers are offered to the Rasnake Family.

It was always such a pleasure to see Snake's smiling face coming in Guffey's. Whether he wanted a new piece of clothing or was just stopping by to visit, I never saw him without a smile on his face. Snake will truly be missed.

My condolences and peace to Jimmy's family.
Sincerely,

You will be missed Snake. Thanks for all of your great support over the years. Your dedication to family, work and running was always an inspriration to me. Sanford Stadium will not be the same without you.

Jim - I always enjoyed seeing and talking to you at the races.. you will be missed.

To the Family - my condolences..

Remembering Jim "Snake" from the good ole days at Grady. My sympathies go out to all of his family.

Remembering Jimmy from high school days at Grady, brings a smile to my face. He was always a caring and great guy. My deepest sympathies to his extended family.

I have many good memories of Jim. We worked together in Chi Phi alumni affairs (although I went to Emory, not his beloved UGA.) He was truly a great guy and was loved and respected by so many. He shall be missed.

A high school friend who always enjoyed keeping in touch and bringing people together. He will be missed.

My condolences to his daughters and granddaughter.

Mr. Jim was an amazing man. I remember him running a morning race, going to a 1:00 Georgia game and racing again at 6:00. He was a good friend and a good person. I will miss him.

Jimmy:
I spoke by phone with him only last week. He asked about others we knew, and if they were doing well. He was my friend and I am blessed for having known him.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

We too remember "Snake" from Grady.Words can't make your sorrow any easier,but they can show how deeply others care.

My dad still recounts stories of growing up with you, how you were called 'Snake' and other stuff I probably can't repeat.
Rest in Peace!

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Goodby my friend, we will miss you. Your smile and stories were always delightful. From myself, the Lunch Bunch, and all your Grady High School and Bulldog buddies.

May the God of Comfort and Peace be with the Rasnake family during their time of sorrow.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Jim and I raced against each other for many years and he was one of the nicest guys one could ever know. He will be missed but we are sure he is running in heaven with many of our running friends who got there first.
