I can’t believe he is gone. Jim was such of sweet person. Every time I went to him with a good or a ridiculous question he would answer with a smile, nerver making me feel like it wasn’t a valid one. And that little chat about NCIS? Priceless. You will be truly missed as a forever loved.
I knew Jim because I knew Jerrod and his family. I had the distinct privilege of to getting to spend time with Jerrod, his mom and Jim since I was in middle school. Growing up with Jim was a blast, he was funny and so full of life and knew from the first moment I met him that he was a good person. Jim did so much good in his life and I saw this “good” first hand by the impact he had on Jerrod In which he helped mold Jerrod into the man, son, brother, husband and father Jerrod is today. Gone to soon but Jim is still an amazing man in my mind and I know he is missed tremendously.
The world will forever be changed by his passing. My favorite memories of Jim were at the company Christmas parties! He loved to dance and it was impossible not to join in. He was a great man who loved his family, his friends, his co-worker and his job but most importantly be loved life. May we all learn from him in this life. I hope you dance dance dance in Heaven dear friend.
it seems like I have know Jim “Bo” forever. He worked for Mr. Parker and delivered to our office ( Standard Abstract / First American Title ) all the time. always enjoyed our chats at the Title Insurance classes over the years. I will never forget one Easter when he came in dressed in a pink bunny suit … he had the sun roof open on his car and his “ears” were blowing in the wind ….. He was a great guy and will be missed by so many people.
This man will forever be missed. He was a very special part of my life for 15 years. Working with Jim was as privilege I am grateful for. His belly laughs were contagious, his turn of a phrase something to admire and his wit 2nd to none. But the best were Jim’s hugs, not just any old hugs, but hugs that made your soul smile. Jim was as a once in a life time experience !! Thank you my sweet friend for making my life better and brighter. Rest with God and know that I love you.
I have many dear memories of working with Jim during my years in the title business. He always took time to explain and listen to all questions asked. He will be missed by many in this area. Lora and families may sweet memories always be yours now and forever. Prayers sent for his family.
