Jamie brought the best out of folks. His love for his family back home in NC was unsurpassed. He loved his cats and the folks he worked with at America Credit Union. I will always cherished when he would fix some of his home southern cooking. You may begone, but will never be forgotten. God created, and took you home. Take care my friend.

David, you were the joy of his life, don't be afraid to shed a tear now and then. Jamie will be looking down fromthe heavens above. Look upward when you get lonely and you will see him watching down on you.

I worked with Jamie for 3 years at America's Credit Union and remember him always coming into my branch in Lakewood and giving me a bad time. Whenever someone was feeling blue or down, talking with Jamie always made things better. He was definitely a wonderful person and I know that he will live the hearts of everyone that knew him. Jamie will always be "family" to me and I know that he will always be around. Jamie, you will be greatly missed.

And to Dave, hang in there and take care. Jamie was very luck to have you in his life.
