This really breaks my heart, Jimmy and I were buds back in the day. Lots of long meaningful talks, was a great and thoughtful friend. Jimmy was a rare combination of a sweet dude and a tough dude. And was always in my corner... I'm so sorry to the family!!!

Jimmy, was one of the first Arkansas folks to greet me back about 1978, I was down in St.Joe meeting up with one of my buddies after he had just moved down there. Any how he was really friendly and kind. He reminded me of a Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer. Really sorry to hear about this. I figure he's floating down the river Jordan 'bout now. My Condolences. Rusty.

I have such fun memories with Jimmy. Those times of spear fishing on the Buffalo and deep frying that night. Running up and around the "hollers" on weekends. I always loved how he would let a Marshall boy come hang out in St. Joe. Back in those days that was not that popular! Jimmy also told the other boys to leave me be. See you soon in Heaven my old friend.

My deepest condolences to Glenda and all the Family.
Countless memories come back as I recall all the times we had together, Jimmy.
Many memories in life I chose to supress, growing up, but these I do cherish.
You, and your family, was like an extension of our own family body. You were like a brother in mischief and fun that, admittedly, I could not always create for myself. Thanks for being there in those times.
Ralph (aka Doodlebug) as the nicknamed you started calling me that "stuck" with many.

Glenda and Leisha and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss! I have so many memories of spending time with your family, and I grieve his loss even though it was so long ago. Jimmy was always quick with a smile and had some wisdom beyond his age. And that bobcat!
I pray God’s comfort for your family and his strength to lift you up through this time!
