Ken & Sammie: Got a Christmas card from Poppie Munn and she told me about Jimmy. I immediately got on the internet to verify.
Melvin & I moved from Pamplico in 1973. Do you remember Joey, Ron & Don? My heartfelt sympathy to both of you. We often think of you all and have many fond memories of you as "little boys".

All of us in Charlotte were shocked to hear of Jimmy's death. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this extremely painful time. Jimmy was indeed a very special man. My Dad owned Lawing Auction Company before his death in 1999. Jimmy attended alot of our auctions and we all enjoyed working with him so much. Jimmy and my dad, Craig Lawing, hung around together alot hunting and fishing. Please accept our deepest sincere sympathies for this untimely passing. M. Diane Lawing
