I am so sorry (and late) to hear about Jim's passing. We were his tenants in St. Louis on Virginia Ave for seven years and he was the kindest and most caring man. He sent a gift when our daughter was born and was always a joy to talk to. We are so glad to have known him even in that limited way. Wishing Trudy and the family all the best.

Dear Trudy, I'm so sorry to just find out about loosing Jimmy. I remember you both so well from high school. Most of my memories of Jimmy are from the football field, our practices and games. He was alway such a nice guy. I had not realized that we were all at Southern together for a couple of years. I have also done a lot of work in Nashville through the years. Had I known you two were there I've have touched base with you. I know this is such a difficult time for you and I'll keep you and your family in my prayers. All the best and God's comfort to you. With love and prayers,

Trudy,

It was only today that I heard of Jimmy's passing. I am so very sorry for your and your family's loss.

Jimmy was a wonderful friend from our younger days at Madison Baptist Church on through the good times we all had at M-R High.

I missed talking with Jimmy over the years. Time has gone by much too fast.

I am thinking of you and your family and Jimmy's own siblings as well.

Trudy….I am so sorry beyond words for the loss of Jimmy. He was a very best friend growing up and so much a part of my childhood memories onward through high school. Our lives took us in separate directions for many years but I treasure the visit I had with you guys a few years ago and the good time we had…a great memory. I am sorry I was not aware of his memorial service until after the fact, or I would have certainly come.

Again, my sorrow for the loss of Jimmy.

Trudy, I was deeply saddened by Jim’s passing. He was a wonder man. Though Jim and I spoke and visited together only a few times over the years, I have always considered him my best friend since high school. He had a way about him that was always relaxing and full of joy. I will miss him and his laugh-happy, fun, disarming. God bless you and your family, and may He give you His peace in the days ahead.

Trudy, I am so very sorry for your loss. I did not know of Jimmy’s passing until today. I will never forget the special love you two shared as I witnessed during the USM days. Take good care of yourself and family, and may God bless all of you. Hugs, my friend.
