I am sorry to hear Jim passed away. I met Jim in 1970 when he was attached to the hospital at Camp Lejeune. We spent a lot of time together. He will always have a special place in my heart.

I worked with Jim as a police partner at Wilmington PD. He was a good person and police officer. He was fair, knew how to calm a situation and his friendship with many members of the community helped mitigate dangerous situations. I will forever be thankful to have had him as a friend and police partner. John H. Cease

I’ll cherish the memories for ever. The love between our families was special. Jim was like an overprotective big brother to me. Sometimes that was good and sometimes not so good. But he always had my back and always made me feel loved. I am so blessed to have the memories. I’ll never forget the Damn Boat and the Damn Bird. The purple jeep we loved so much we bought it from him. When my grandmother died, my dad was in the hospital and Jim went and stayed at the hospital with my dad while we went to the service. He and my daddy had a bond.
To Pam, Lindsey and Elinor and your families. you are in my heart and my prayers.

Mr. Jim was such a wonderful man. As a child I enjoyed spending many a day and night at the Enos household with my close friend Lindsey. Jim was always the kind and funny father figure and a fierce protector and I feel so lucky to have had him in my life. He will be lovingly remembered and missed.💜

A Jim Enos Story
Back in the early 80’s Jim got a call for two men fighting on South 5th St. The house was about half a block away from the fountain and you had to climb steps to get to the front door.
I drove up and saw two old men drunk. squaring off, shouting obscenities at each other and taking a swing in slow motion at each other every once in a while. These guys were really old.
Jim hadn’t arrived so I got of the car, put my hat on (because you had better have your hat on), sheathed my nightstick and walked up two flights of steps past the two guys still swinging in slow motion and cursing each other. I never saw them actually strike one and another. They didn’t pay any attention to me so I went up on the porch. Sat on the porch swing and fired up a cigarette waiting on Jim.
He drove up, got out of the car, put his hat on and grabbed is nightstick. Took a look at the two guys, who were still going at it, walked up on the porch, sat down on the swing beside me and lit a cigarette.
Jim said “What’s happening”.
I said, “It’s your call, I was just backing you up. They been going at it for a while.”
Jim yelled to the two, “You ‘all better get done before I finish this cigarette or you’re going to jail.” And he called them by name. They stopped. They were really winded. He sent one way and the other another way. I was laughing my butt off. They staggered off.
We were shorthanded that evening and nobody wanted to get tied up at the jail. Especially with a couple of old drunks.
I always loved working with Jimmy.

Jim was a great old school cop. We answered many service calls together over the years across the old front. I considered him a good friend. I could tell many stories. We lost a good man. Prayers to his family and friends that knew him. He served as a Combat Corpsman in Vietnam assigned to Marines. Till Valhalla Brother!
