Jimmy was a lifelong friend and our memories of times together, biking, telling stories, visiting … will be with me always. Jimmy was great story teller and could recall details from years before that others had long forgotten. A good man, loyal and steady, and he will be terribly missed.
Jim was a great friend of my family’s for many years. He was a steady presence and calming influence during our tough times and we already miss him.
Jim’s contributions to Calvary Baptist Church cannot be measured. He will never be forgotten.
Kenny, I am sorry for your loss. I used to love traveling with you and Jim on our bus tours. RIP Jimmy.
Dear Ken I am truly sorry for your loss, May Jim Rest in Peace.
Also, my condolences to Adrian whom I had met at Table of Plenty.
