I remember all the times we had snowball fights and my visits to California and him showing me some of the sites. May God be with his wife for all her loving care for Jim in the last few years and give her peace.
Barbara Tyner  High Point

Uncle Jim was a smart, accomplished man. Though we live on opposite sides of the country, we enjoyed talking with one another and a joy in researching our family history. On his visits here, we visited the local genealogy libraries and drove around visiting people, talking and laughing. He was a hearty eater and enjoyed all foods except meats. I enjoyed his stories of his childhood, protecting his younger brother, my Dad. He made many trips up to visit with my Dad in Delaware and the two brothers shared a very special bond. I will miss Uncle Jim but know his suffering has ended and he is at peace. Much love to my Aunt Belia who cared so well for him this last year of his life. She was always a loving and helpful wife and focused totally on him during his long illness. Rest in peace Uncle.

Jim was a great guy. He was my Great grandfathers nephew but I always just called him uncle jimmy. He was the first vegetarian I met and he inspired me  be curious about family genealogy and he shared  this passion with me.  I have not seen him in 15 or more years but he left a lasting impression on my youg life. Rest Peacefully. My thoughts are with those closest to you.
