    I am so sorry about the loss of my Uncle Jim. I had not been able to see him for years since we all lived so far from one another. In fact the last time I saw my Uncle Jimmy was at my father's funeral in South Carolina. He was always my favorite Uncle when I was growing up and he will always be in my memories. I still have family pictures of us all together during the holidays growing up until we all moved to separate parts of the globe. Rest in Peace Uncle Jimmy. I will always love you.

    I just want to say how sorry I am about Uncle Jimmy passing. He was always my favorite Uncle even though as we all grew older and moved to different parts of the globe, he was always in my thoughts. We used to have fun at family gatherings growing up. It is so ironic that his passing was on my father's birthday, his brother George. Rest in Peace Uncle Jimmy and I will always love you. Sincerely, Sharon Lee Keenan Ashby

    He was such a gentlemen and a good soul. He was keen on finding those hidden garage sale deals especially if it involved golf gear. He also had a wonderful sense of humor with an unforgettable smile and laugh. I was blessed to call him Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. May mercy, peace and love be multiplied to you during this time of grieving. Love Les

    Dear Chris and Family, Deepest sympathies for your loss. Your father had the best laugh. I only met him a few times but can still hear that laugh. He raised a strong confident daughter I have the honor to call friend; while candy may have been his work it is clear family was his passion. Take care of each other as you continue to honor him.
