Jimmy was a good friend and always a great help to the investigators at the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office. He was always one of the good guys. My condolences to his family and friends.

Debbie, so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. Praying for comfort in all the memories you shared, and peace knowing you will see him again one day as he trusted Jesus as his Savior. I didn't know he was sick and found out about the funeral after, or I would have come.

Every time Jimmy would come to the office and meet, he'd share stories of crimes he was investigating at Wachovia. Then we'd get into politics. Then we'd have ten minutes left to actually do business. I looked forward to our meetings.

Debbie, our deepest condolences in this time. Candi and I send our best, in your time of grieving. Please let us know if ther e anything we can do.

GOD Bless Jimmy, you and your family.
