We had a reunion on July 18, 2001 in Austin, TX. That was our first meeting since CHS graduation. The dinner we shared was super and the bible you gave me was a surprise and with your help the bible helped me get through some of the most tumultuous times in my life.

You took all my phone calls and listen to my craziness regarding issues and you always closed our chats with a prayer that was spot on. With your encouragement I sought out a church and have continued to go to church on a regular basis.

You were right when you told me to memorize Proverbs 3:5,6. It has worked for me ever since as well as other scripture verses.

Before you passed you never compalined about your heaslth although I felt something was wrong. What I also remember is you always put my issues first and pooh poohed yours.

Jimmy, thanks for being a friend because God had a plan for us to meet after an absense of 40 years of no contact between us.

Always your friend and in my memory,

Tom

Jimmy- after we graduated from CHS our lives went in different directions for 40 years. In 2001 we reconnected via Classmates - that was the first time we talked in all those years.

Ironically, we were in Austin, TX at the same time and we met for dinner. From that dinner you inspired me and helped me to the Lord.

Our meeting did not happen by chance!

During the next 7 years before the Lord called you home you were there for me through some of my most stressful momemnts. You gave me Scriptures to read and encouraged me to find a church.

Whenever I needed your advice you were there.

So my brother until we meet again.

YBC,

Jim- time has gone by quickly since you passed 6 years ago. I recall our last phone call the day before you passed.

When we reunited- after 40 years- in 2k1 it is because of  your help my life turned around.

Many of the things you mentored me when we reconnected have been working well in my life. I know I can always say to you 'thanks for being there, it wasn't by accident". Some rough edges are still with me and many have been rounded some have disappeared.

When we meet up again the beer is on me-LOL!

Tommy
