Granddad Jimmy was a man with a big heart, who loved to teach and share life. We learned the meaning of family and hard work. I hope to obtain the patience and understanding that I observed in him. He was a easy man to put on a pedestal and a hard man to let go.
We loved you, Jim. You will be greatly missed by friends and loved ones.
Uncle Jim was a wonderful, kind hearted, and loving man. I only wish I had been able to spend more time with him.
His happy attitude and gift of kindness is definitely seen throughout his family. I'm glad I was able to meet him and enjoy his laughter. Everyday, I see him through Brannon. He is already missed by so many people.
I'm going miss Uncle Jimmy so very much. I have such fond memories of going fishing at his house.
With sincere sympathy, Jim Moore
