Don't know if I can make it out to Lakeway tonight in person, but I
will be there in my heart --

Jim was very special to me and I have very fond memories associated with out relationship -- first on North Hills Drive, 1990 +/- and then the
building out toward the lake and a few conversations thereafter --

Jim was very special to me and I have very fond memories associated with out relationship -- first on North Hills Drive, 1990 +/- and then the
building out toward the lake and a few conversations thereafter --

It was exciting working with Jim and his lovely family on all those
multi-family and other things/ sites - all over the place, around
Austin and vicinity --

Jim was a really good guy -- he gave me very interesting assignments to do after the 1980's economy fiasco and he helped me re-establish my engineering practice - suscessfullly -- however, I did closed it last year --
I am just kind of tired -- Jim wore me out --

Judy, James,John and Jason -
I don't know if you remember me or not, but I can tell each of you that
I could tell that Jim loved you all a geart deal --

and, I loved Jim and his family and I hope he is at peace --

My condolenses and blessings --

So long Brother Jim...you did a good job. It was mighty tough towards the end there and you and your family have been in my thoughts so often. You accomplished a lot and gave of yourself lovingly to all. I always liked your positive, can do way of looking at things. I'll never forget the trip I took, as a young man, with your father and a few Texans down into Mexico carrying good will and supplies to help ease

You accomplished a lot and gave of yourself lovingly to all. I always liked your positive, can do way of looking at things. I'll never forget the trip I took, as a young man, with your father and a few Texans down into Mexico carrying good will and supplies to help ease the poverty and need. You were just a boy then but grew up to continue that tradition of caring for others and I'm sure your family is doing the same.

Love to all of you as you commemorate a terrific person, husband, dad, brother and friend, who lived a fruitful life and left a good example of love and devotion to his faith, his family and friends.

Fishing at dawn on the Medina River for catfish before church on Sunday. Listening to Jim play jazz in Aunt Nell and Uncle Waymond's living room. Seeing a real man, even though a very young man, preach, lead singing, bow and pray with his hands folded while on his knees, with his head in Judy's lap. Putting water in the radiator of Jim's Model A all the way to Medina City, Texas. Being impressed that my 14 year old cousins

Seeing a real man, even though a very young man, preach, lead singing, bow and pray with his hands folded while on his knees, with his head in Judy's lap. Putting water in the radiator of Jim's Model A all the way to Medina City, Texas. Being impressed that my 14 year old cousins drove the company trucks because they had Master Plumbers Licenses. Laying on a blanket on Texas nights in grandma's back yard under the pecan trees watching the leaves sway...the only way to cool off. Going to Playland Park in San Antonio with Waymond and Jim after chuch when visiting grandma in the summer. Seeing him build small homes, collect the rent and go off to Woodlawn Lake to fish with a cane pole afterward. Remembering escaped parakeets he was breeding and escaped residents of his fishing worm farm after a thunderstorm. Watching him hug Judy when we were all teens and knowing I wanted to find someone who looked at me like Jim looked at Judy. I miss you already, Jim...

When I was going to business college in San Antonio (I was living with my sister Pauline at the time) Jimmy, Uncle Waymond and Aunt Nell would come pick me up on Sunday morning and we would go visit small churches outside San Antonio and they would do lay preaching. He and Uncle Waymond could deliver a convincing message.

Jimmy would also come pick me up and take me bowling at Trinity University bowling lanes. I had never bowled in my

When I was going to business college in San Antonio (I was living with my sister Pauline at the time) Jimmy, Uncle Waymond and Aunt Nell would come pick me up on Sunday morning and we would go visit small churches outside San Antonio and they would do lay preaching. He and Uncle Waymond could deliver a convincing message.

Jimmy would also come pick me up and take me bowling at Trinity University bowling lanes. I had never bowled in my life (living out at the ranch did not afford me many opportunities) and it was great fun and Jimmy was a very patient teacher.

I will always remember and appreciate the time he took to show me the ropes of life outside the ranch. Thanks Jimmy......love you., Alma
