I had the pleasure of playing golf with Jimmie James many times. He taught me more about the game in two years than I learned the entire other years Ive spent with the game.
I worked with James at the Golf club at stonebridge in Bossier City La during his time as head pro there. We had many good times there on and off the course. He was a great guy to work for. It's ashame the good die young.

James Wise showed me how cool golf was and that you don’t have to be a long ball hitter to be a good golfer. I worked with James at Dick's Sporting Goods in San Antonio. I also played in his fantasy football league He would always greet me with a "Whats up Pimpin" and that would always make me laugh. I instantly knew the first time I saw James that he was cool. I had the pleasure of having beers with James one day after work and I was exchanging words with a negative person sitting next to me. James totally came between us and kept the peace in classic cool James Wise style. James comically told the guy not to mess with me because I was in the Mexican Mafia, which I’m not but I am Mexican so that’s why it was so funny. The guy didn’t know if it was a joke or not and needless to say the guy stopped messing with me. James Wise was my friend and I recently saw him this past black Friday at BestBuy, he said he was visiting his sister and he looked happy. I am sad knowing that world will go on without the classic, cool, calm, caring character that James Wise embodied. However, I am comforted to know that I will someday have beers again with James in Heaven, I can’t wait to hear his stories.

I had the pleasure of working with James in Birmingham Alabama at Dick's Sporting Goods, what a guy! Always had a smile on his face and words of encouragement for everyone he came in contact with. I moved to Texas and thought of him often, then one day out of nowhere, I am at work and I hear this guy say "hey, remember me", I turn around and it is James. Same great smile and all that energy! Was so good to see him again! I will miss him, he will have our Lord laughing in no time though!

I worked with James at Dick's Sporting goods. He always had a smile on his face. It was a pleasure to be able to work with him on a daily basis. I am deeply sadden by the news of his passing. I will keep your family in my prayers. I was very fortunate to be able to have met James and even more fortunate to have been able to call him a friend.

To Jim's Family
The Wise Family lived down the street from us in McAllen, Tx. Our son Barry and Jim were best friends and later roommates. Jim was so apart of our family growing.
We loved him and will miss him so very much.

My name is Shane Beaulieu, I worked with James at Dicks Sporting Goods as his assistant for the better half of last year and this year up until his passing. In that short time Jimmy took good care of me helping me be comfortable in a new town and a new store. He looked out for me and is already sorely missed. He will live on forever in my memory and the memory of anyone who has had the pleasure of spending any measure of time with him. Rest in Peace Jimmy and may you hustle god on the back nine of Pearly Gate Shores CC

To the family and friends of James Wise,

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with James for a short period of time while working at Dick's Sporting Goods. During that short period of time, I quickly became friends with him. He was very sweet and nice to everyone. He always knew how to put a smile on everyone around him. I am sorry for the loss and hope that you seek out to the Lord for your grief and confusion during this difficult time. My deepest condolences.
