Remembering Jimmy back in school. He was in my grade.
Always a gentleman then and later when I moved back
To Ark. And met him again he had not changed. Continued
To be a gentleman every time I met him. I considered him
A fine person as well as a friend. RIP my friend. Calla Linn
What a pleasure of mine to know this sweet soul. Jim was truly one of our extended family members. Kind & considerate and very loved by our Arkansas & California families. To say he'll be missed is a true understatement. Love you always Jimbo.
It is hard to understand why people are taken from us, but find comfort in knowing you first as a brother, then as a wonderful friend. We spent many good times fishing, listening to country music on your"talking car" and just being together. We love you Jim.
