James Stephen Pone

I will miss you my dear friend. I can´t believe you are no longer here on this earth but I know you are in a beautiful place in Heaven. Friends since 1987 James as I often referred to as JP, had so many wonderful talks and he always gave the best advice to me. If not for him I would never have succeeded in my banking career. He taught me so much and was always there to help. I knew I could always count on him. We shared so many laughs together, he had the greatest sense of humor and always saw the best in everyone. Until we meet again on the Golden Streets of Heaven I will keep you in my heartfelt memories. My deepest condolences to you Karla and your beautiful girls and to the entire family.

A truly great man with a heart that cared for all.

My heartfelt condolences and prayers to Karla, his granddaughters Mr. Pone loved so very much and all of the Pone family, friends, colleagues, and all those who knew him. I´ve lost someone else so near to my heart! I loved him dearly and was so very fond of him in every way. Even after parting ways as colleagues, we remained close, constantly texting, lots of pictures back & forth, and there were calls in between. This mighty man of God exemplified all there is to courage, strength, wisdom, love, kindness, laughter, and I can go on & on! A powerful testimonial of endurance where he encouraged me constantly to ALWAYS never give up or give in, no matter my circumstances. Celebrated his retirement amongst so many others a few years back as well. Mr. James Pone, you meant a lot to me prayer warrior, and I will truly miss you! Rest well, another has gained his wings! The conversations & times spent, I will cherish forever!
