James Leonard Shackelford

My sincere condolences to all of the Shackelford family.

I am saddened to see that Jim has passed. I have many fond memories growing up with Jim and Johnny Ray. Leonard and Sharlet always treated me like family. All of us boys grew up playing, fighting, exploring life in a small town. Memories that I will always treasure. The best memory of Jim that I have is that he was always kind to my Brother Jimmy. Rest In Peace, Brother.

I remember Jim with that big old grin; y'all picked a great picture of him. Always had a sarcastic comment. But that was Jim. Knew him all my life, grew up with him, and very sad to hear about his passing. Jim was part of Hartford. I remember that old yellow Chevy pickup he had in high school. What was it? About a '54?
