Jimmy and I were not close except for the fact that anyone that went to Mark Smith and Lasseter were considered close friends by me. Jimmy and I were on the B team football together and were good friends there. He also lived in Jones County and I ran across him on occasion there. We always passed with a smile and a greeting and usually talked about going to the class reunions. In my mind Jimmy was a great person and I was proud to have known him as a friend. God bless to you Jimmy and I hope to see you again beyond the pearly gates. - Wayne Bowden class of 69.

Jimmy grew up down the street from me. I recall us always waving at each other as we biked up and down Alandale Drive. He had a ready wink and smile. Condolences to his family. Until we meet again, your friend,
