I had the privilege of knowing Mr. Bozeman at his drs office, I knew him only a short time, but he quickly became one of my favorite people to see. Every time he would come in he'd have the biggest smile, he was so funny and warm. I'm so glad that he was a part of my life, even if just for a short time.

I worked with Jim during the 1980's at Martin Marietta when we were both in the MIS group. We became great friends and co-workers. We kept in touch after he left Martin Marietta through his realty business. Jim was a guiding light for us during the sale of our home in Kissimmee. A true professional with a wonderful kind heart. I will miss him.

I worked with Jim back in the 1980's for the MIS group at Martin Marietta. Such a warm and gentle man and during our time together we became great co-workers. We kept in touch though his realty business after he left Martin Marietta and he went out of his way to help sell my home in Kissimmee. A true professional and wonderful person. I will miss him.

I will always remember dancing with Jim at Pat's house (2012) and him telling me the wonderful and funny story about "The Lottery" ticket...what a good time that was! I will miss him but am comforted that he is now in Heaven with the love of his life, Barbara. God speed dear friend; Rest in Peace! Cherie Redhead Bauer

Jim was kind enough to have invited me to a Senior Prom Party he hosted for a group of his Oak Ridge Classmates.

And while that party took place 50 years ago, I can still remember how grateful I was that Jim had invited me and what a good time I had.

I believe everyone had a good time because Jim, being the generous and considerate person he was, made sure that everyone felt welcomed and wanted.

I was so sorry to hear of his passing.

Sincerely, Tom Dunlap
