I am sorry to the family for your loss. Jim, "Bear Meat", was a special classmate at Valley Head High.

Jim the Bear Meat was a good classmate in school and a fellow soldier in the Army National Guard.
May God richly bless the family in this time of grief and sorrow.

Linda and family so sorry for your loss. Jim was a special cousin and class mate. We even fooled some people telling them we were twins. And whenever we talked or saw each other we would greet with "Hello Twin". Going to miss you. I am listening to the wind chimes you sent when Ron was called home and thinking of you.

I remember as a little boy watching him play football and looking forward to becoming a man like him. Seeing how he lived his life,that thought remains. He is one I will truly miss always.
