My wife and I met Jimmy in Jackson Hole Wy, at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in February, 2007. I wanted to let him know how GREAT all the folks at the Squire Assn. were and how much I appreciated him sending me a card after the death of my son. We talked for some time and enjoyed meeting him very much. We met him again at the 2008 BBQ. He was a true gentleman and actually cared about people, It was no act. We will miss you a lot. My deepest condolences to his family.

With our husbands out of town, my sister Lita and I decided to go out for dinner. Coming out of the Elk River Restaurant we met this wonderful couple. Without him telling us his name, my sister recognized his voice from the welcoming film at Jack Daniels Distillery. We begin to talk about everything under the sun when the conversation turned to motorcycles. We agreed we would ride when our husbands returned home. Unfortunately Jimmy and Emily had planned a trip to Sturgis for bike week and therefore postponed our ride together. A week later I texted Jimmy to make plans for a weekend ride when Alice informed me of the unfortunate news. I was saddened to know that we had truly missed out on getting to know this Southern Gentleman. We want to extend our condolences to his sweet wife Emily, his family and all who knew and loved Jimmy. Aloha Jimmy!

My heart goes out to Jimmy's family. He spoke often of Wyatt and so proud of Alice. I got to know Jimmy very well in travel to South Africa and became a great business associate and friend. The world will miss you Jimmy as will I. You were a "true" gentleman of the south and one of the most genuine people i knew. I will miss your stories growing up on the farm and loving your family.

I will always cherish the time I got to spend with Mr. Bedford. He always talked about his daughter and grandson. He loved them so much. He was especially kind to me when my son died and I will always love him for that. Anybody that ever met Mr. Bedford loved him immediately. He went out of his way to answer questions, take pictures, and sign anything. I have been with him during many Jack Daniel's promotions in the midday heat and watched in awe as he would stand for hours and talk to people for as long as they wanted. You have touched so many people's lives and I am thankful that one of them was mine. God bless you and your family and everybody that is missing you.
