"Jim was such a wonderful man. I’m truly heart broken. We had been friends for years but, lost touch over the past few. My heart goes out to you all."

"Jim was a high school classmate and we attended the Uniiv. Ark. for some time He was one my closest friends for most of those years and through the midi-sixities. We lost touch for several years and then discovered, via email, around the turn of the century that we lived only a few blocks apart.. We never made the time and I only discovered with his obit that he was no longer in Cordova. I feel a great sense of loss. I doubt I've ever had a more loyal and dependable friend."

"Jimmy was a dear high school classmate at Hot Springs High School Class of 1960. I am so sorry that none of us knew of his passing until today. We would have paid our respects and hugged his family. I have such sweet memories of all of us who dated basketball players and ran around together. Jimmy was such a good friend and his loss seems so hard to take because we lost another member of our"Trojan" family. May the good memories help you as you grieve your loss."
