Yall know him as Jim but it has always been Jimmy to me. I have known Jimmy all my life and he will remain in my heart for the rest of my life. It is because of Jimmy that I play the guitar. From the age of 8 when he showed me my first song until we jamed just two and a half weeks ago, I will always have that bond with both Jimmy and Maria for they are not olny friends but family, that started by their Dad and My Dad many years ago in the Navy in KeyWest all the way to Charleston. Maria and Marlene my prayer for you is to not cry for the loss, but to rejoice for the love that is in your heart for my friend.

Diane and I will miss Jim. Diane has known Jim a lot longer than I have and she often talks about the days of the great band and the wild stories that were lived by Jim and the band. Jim helped me to overcome my stage fright and play my music in front of an audience. I thank you for that Smitty and I am honored to have played some music with you. We will miss you
