I'm glad to have had the opportunity to get to know Jim through Diggin' In Virginia. Jim and his buddy Terry were always a treat to talk to while in the field metal detecting or just bumping into them while out and about during the digs. I had the pleasure of meeting brother John last year while digging a civil war trash pit adjacent to Jim and Terry on a hillside in Virginia digging a soldier's hut and again this year at the same farm. Terry and Jim were having a time! I could see the joy on their faces sharing their dig together and uncovering many fine civil war relics and especially the beautiful bottles. They all three were very close and often mistaken as brothers.
John, Terry and the rest of the friends and family I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish Jim peace in heaven with our Father by his side.

My heart is greatly saddened by his passing. Yet I rejoice knowing that he will be waiting for us in Heaven. Jim often called me his brother and, I was in the Lord. But, I must say that I never meet strangers that so quickly became friends like John and Jim did. We will miss Jim at every future DIV hunt, but we will laugh and tell stories of all the great times we had together until we finally meet again on the other side. That was the last thing that Jim wanted me to know and that he loved me. I talked to him just before and am glad I did. He wanted everyone to know of his faith. God Bless his family in Texas and where ever they may be. We all are praying for you and will stand with you in the days to come. To anyone who reads this I will tell you what Jim would want you to know, " Give your heart to Jesus and trust in Him", we'll meet again in Heaven. Jim, The Real Cowboy!

My thoughts and prayers go out to Jim's family and friends. I came to know Jim and John a few years ago at the DIV hunts in Virginia. Of the thousands of folks and friends who passed through these relic hunts, Jim was always one that was on top of my list to call "Friend"!! I always made a point to see Jim and talk with him about so many things. Too many interesting things that he discussed about his life to mention. I was amazed at all that he had done in his life. Jim was so unpretentious. One of the most interesting and genuine persons I ever had the opportunity to meet. He will always be in my memory!

Rest In Peace Jim and Thanks For The Memories!

Condolences and Prayers to the Hitt Family and friends.

I met Jim at the DIV hunts in Virginia. I always looked forward to catching up with Jim, John, and Terry. It was a lot of laughs and good times. I will miss you Jim.
