James was well liked here, and will be missed. He helped me through some tough times. His input was given generously and freely during times that encouraged selfishness in others around me. He had character and a good spirit. Good bye and good luck to him.
Thankyou for being my friend. I love you. I miss you. meow meow. TT
Jill- My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Much love…
Mary and I have many fond memories of Jim and Jill growing up in Magnolia. Jim was a great guy and a friend to everyone. He will be greatly missed! Heaven will be a more happenin’ place with Jim there to liven things up!!!
I am so sorry to read about Jim’s accident. He was one of my good friends in High School and my neighbor. I only saw him once in the last few years. He seemed like he was doing well as a fisherman and was proud of his son. I wish you all the best. Hi Jill remember me Chris Kaufman’s girlfriend in high school E-mail me sometime O.K.
James and I shared a lot of wonderful experiences together and I will always cherish his memory and miss him terribly. And I love him. Signed Marcella
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS! I REMEMBER COACHING LITTLE JIM ON MAGNOLIA PLAYFIELD AND A KNEW HE WOULD ENJOY LIFE TO THE FULLIEST AND HOPE AND PRAY
HE DID.

Thank you all who have written to Jimmy and family – we all appreciate it very much. My brother was an incredible human being with a heart of gold, the best fisherman and friend, and he touched so many of us in so many ways.. I believe his trials and deeds put him at the front of the line. We miss him so much but know that he is finally at rest and with dad – it’s odd to think of Jimmy at rest… God be with us all.
Judy, Jill, Jake and other family and friends-My sympathies and prayers for comfort to all of you.
Jimmy is loved, and many have wonderful memories of him, myself included. Our families spent a great deal of time together as we were growing up and Jimmy lived his life–ALL BOY. I remember his awesome train set, the basement pillow fights, hiding in the hide-a-bed, his cowboy outfit, and streaking as kids around the yard. Jimmy was the big brother I didn’t grow up with. He always treated me with love and kindness and was completely present when we were together. He grew into quite a man, with experiences that could fill a book. His rugged good looks are burned into my mind. I know it sounds corny, but I always thought that Jimmy missed his calling and should have been a model. Maybe it’s his soulful eyes. I know Jake has inherited those good looks too!
I wish I would have been able to see Jimmy in action with his TRUE calling and see him at his happiest and in his element on the boat fishing. I know he worked hard and was a respected fisherman and crew member. When I think of him now, I see him in that “bigger than life” scenery surrounded by God’s creatures and creations.
I always remember Jimmy’s greeting for me of “what’s buzzin’ cuzin?!” I know he’ll greet me in heaven with those same words. God bless him and his family and friends.
Much Love and Aloha, Lori Woods
James, our Pirate, lived as fully as a soul possibly could imagine. I loved him for being one of the best friends I could ever have.
You will be sorely missed, and eternally loved. Davy Jones locker will ensnare you ashes as it did your soul here on Earth.
Though you are not on Terra with us physically any longer I know you are extremely happy where you are and already dancing with and reeking havoc with the Angels while you watch over us all and keep your love coming our way!
Our condolences go out to your mother, your sister, and especially your son Jake, We love you Jake.
