Again, my condolences and prayers to the family.  I knew Jimmy as a fair man that treated all with dignity and respect. That alone at times goes a long way. 

It is truly not how we started the race, but how we finish the race - through our faith in Christ Jesus. 

Jimmy will be missed by many but let us "console those who morn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. Isaiah 61:3 NKJV" 

Heartfelt condolences to Jimmy’s family and friends. My step-father, Harold B. Lee, was friends with Jimmy many years ago. He was fond of Jimmy and I always enjoyed visiting with Jimmy when the two of them were hanging out.  Thinking of you all!! 

Rest in Peace, Tutti. Thanks for the memories. You will be missed. 💖

Prayers go out to the family and friends. Sorry for your loss.

He backed his officers like no other chief I had worked for!  Rest in Peace Chief!


it was a pleasure to work with Jimmy both in Garner and Knightdale. A wonderful person, very easy going. My prayers go out to his family and other friends, Jimmy rest in Peace.

I am so sorry.RIP Jimmy. You will be missed.

You've left us broken hearted, but with the best memories of a lifetime. Elementary school mates trusted you to dart across the street (Dick Woodward's Station) with change in hand to return with 'Black Cow Suckers'  'Hot Balls' 'Bubble Gum' etc before the teachers would return from their lunch break!  You'd entertain with your guitar and in high school, you were an awesome 'match maker'! Thank you, 'Our Forever Friend' ...  The sky is filled with bright stars tonight welcoming your awesome smiles and bright eyes! We'll love and think of you always. 
Prayers lifted for Jimmy's daughter and family!  
God Bless and Comfort you. 
Dianne and Kenneth Harrison

My prayers go out to the family of my dear dear friend Jimmy. 
I first met Jimmy when I started working at the Garner Police Department in 1988.  We served on the same patrol team.  We quickly became good friends.  We went fishing together on our days off and what I use to call excursions, because when you went off with Jimmy to do one thing….you ended up making several stops which included conversations with at one or two people who knew him.  Eventually you may end up doing what you set out to do, but it was usually hours later, but you always had a good time and laughed a lot.  We also served together as investigators with Garner, and later we served as Lieutenants. We became more like family than friends. Jimmy had a great love for his family.  I was there when his mom died, and later when Claud and Gene passed away.  He often spoke of his nieces and nephew like they were his own children.  But there was one special girl that had his heart. I first met Nikki when she was a  probably less than 10.  She had jet black curly hair and big brown  eyes and she had Jimmy (as I use to tease him) wrapped around her little finger.  He loved you dearly Nikki, and prayers go out to you and your mom especially in the days to come.   To Betty, you have been the best friend to Jimmy.  Your display of love for him is incredible he was blessed to have you in his life.  
My prayer for all of you is that you have the peace that only God can give knowing that Jimmy is now with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  


I extend my sincere condolences to Jimmy's family and friends.  

Jimmy was well known in Clayton in our youth and would always try to make people laugh, and he succeeded.  He, my cousins, other friends and I would get together from time to time in the 60s.  We rode the school bus together and would often see one another at church or at my cousin's house.  I would say those were good times for the most part.  Of course after high school, we  didn't see Jimmy nearly so much.  He was good about keeping in touch with old friends as long as he was able.  We can celebrate Jimmy's successful career among the Men in Blue.  

May Jimmy rest in peace!


My condolences for the Greene family & extended family.  Jimmy  was our neighbor for several years. A good man & neighbor who will be truly missed.

My deepest condolences for the Greene family & extended family for the passing of Jimmy. We were neighbors for several years. First met Jimmy when we experience Hurricane Fran in 1996, Several neighbors put together a breakfast. Which we all enjoyed that was cooked on a camper stove, from one neighbors garage. I'm sure Jimmy would be smiling about that. He was definitely a good man and neighbor. I know he will be missed.



My condolences goes to the whole family. He practically watched me grow up. When I was younger he would watch me help my dad in the yard and ride on the mower. We joked about it before he moved and he said “I bet you rode many of miles on that mower.” He will be missed for sure. I hope you and my dad are sitting back talking about all the wonderful memories! 

RIP Jimmy. I met Jimmy while taking police science at Johnston Community College in 1973.

He was a Sgt. with the Smithfield Police Department and I thought he was squared away. He had good stories and helped me greatly at the start of my career.


God bless his family during this time.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. He was always so kind to me. My mother  ( Edna Greene Flowers)thought the world of him. Sincerely, Alecia Flowers Zucker
