Uncle Jimmy was like a father to me when we lived in Virginia and my own father was so far away. I could always count on him to be there when I needed him. I have so many good memories of him, it's hard to pick just one. Love you, Uncle Jimmy.

I don't have enough words to recount all the memories or say how sad I am. I would have been lost without my family when I lost Tom and Jimmy and Billie were so supportive. Sending love and healing thoughts to everyone. Love you all.

When we had a tree hit our house Jim and wife Billie were the first people over to help. Jim was kind and a great person in every way. Linda and Chip Houston
