Mr. Jim and I worked together for Billy Rogers at the grocery store in Searcy. I enjoyed his friendship and he also was a bit of a mentor. He told of many tales of his military service. I could tell he was still troubled by the violence he was forced into. Jimmy Petty and I also went to school together and were in the same class. My condolences and prayers of comfort go to the family.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of one of my dear old friends from years ago. Jim taught me how to waterski and that was the first and last time I was on skis. My husband and I used to go to Heber every weekend and hookup our ski boat to Jim's house boat. We had many good times and I will always remember what a kind and gentle soul he had. My sympathy to his family.
