For the Kizer familly. I share in your great loss. Jimmy was the first guy I met when my family moved from Fort Worth to Waco and I started the second six weeks of the 8th grade at North Junior. We lived about five blocks from each other and became very close friends all the way through Junior High, High School, College (Baylor & A&M) and ever since. Jimmy actually got me started with golf. The summer between North Junior and Waco High, Jimmy said one day-"Lets go play golf at Ridgewood" (where his Dad was a member) I got hooked and he kept chasing girls, boats and cars. He was my best friend for the last 62 years and I will miss him forever. Ann and I offer our deepest sympathy to Carol and the rest of the family. Richard Noack

I have known Jimmy all my life. Started elementary school together. We were a pilgrim couple for the May Fete in the sixth grade. I remember his cardboard shoe buckles, knee pants, and pilgrim hat. A wonderful 70 years of happy memories. May he rest in peace.
