Jim was a classmate of mine at the Citadel, a member of E Company in the 2nd battalion (I was in H Company) nearby. We would reminisce fondly from time to time at alumni reunions. I wish we had been able to spend more time together and share more memories. I was proud to have known him. My most profound condolences to his wife and family.

It is with my deepest sympathy that send prayers to Ellen and family. Jimmy was a high school classmate of mine in Fort Mill. He was a soft spoken gentleman and I am not surprised that he served his country and state throughout his life. Again, my deepest condolences.
