Jim and I have been friends since the early 60's. We went to grade school, Jr. high and High school together. We also worked for his dad, Sam. Jim and I lost touch after school but got reacquainted in our 40's in the oil field. When we started FracMaster I told them that Jim was a must hire. We hired Jim and he was a big part of our success. When FracMaster closed Jim and many others moved to CUDD where again Jim was a big part of their start and success in the East Texas frac business. Jim helped me with many difficult frac jobs. He always had that big smile on his face and was so much fun to work with. But most of all I treasured our friendship. I'm sure he is probably in Heaven designing the next frac job. He truly loved life. His family will be in my prayers. We planted a tree on my farm and named it Jim. Jay Cook
I am so sorry to hear that Jimmy has passed away. He was my brother in law for a long time. I was always happy to see him. He was so friendly and always smiling. I send my condolences to his daughters Whitney and Aubrey. Also to his family and friends
This is such sad news, please know that Sharon & I send our prayers and love. Jim was the ultimate “good neighbor” always smiling…RIP Jim, truly one of the good guys.
I remember the smile on Jim's face when we were attending FUMC Hallsville. Peace and comfort to Becky and family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. Jim mentored many of us in our business practices. I will miss the lively conversations and discussions with him. He will be missed by many of his friends and associates. Ed Boczar
All of us in the Kilgore office were so saddened to hear this. We are all so blessed that we got to be friends with and work with Jim for so many years. You are all in our prayers through this most difficult time.
