Uncle James, I have always thought you were the ultimate gentleman with the twinkle in your eye, your wonderful smile, and always a great big hug. I so enjoyed listening to you talk about current news or your days on Wall Street. You will be so missed by those of us here on earth and will forever hold a place in my heart but I’m sure all your loved ones rushed to great you in heaven. Rest peacefully.

To our Dear Uncle James a gentleman, scholar and organizer. We will miss you dearly. Memories of you visiting Atlanta (home) will always be cherished in our hearts. I will never forget when you visited us on one of your trips home you were dressed in a navy blue double breast blazer, white French cuff shirt and a paisley ascot tie. Unc, you were always debonair. A classic man with style. Your sly smile with a twinkle in your eye, I will always remember.
May God receive you in his Kingdom with open arms.
Your nephew, Snook.

To my beloved BROTHER, we shared many moments of conversations about our lives.
How blessed were to have come this far from our humble beginnings. I will truly miss you, but I know we will be together again in God's presence.

He always had a warm smile and a joke. He and my father were such good friend. When they got together the laughter began. What a life well lived in an era that could have made him bitter; instead he found joy and opportunity in his work, his adventures and his friends.

YOU ARE MISSED!

Dear Uncle,
I will never forget January 4th. It was my first day back to work after Christmas vacation. It was 2:00, and I was on my way to workout at lunchtime and I received a call from your number. As usual, I was always happy when you called and was excited to talk to you. Oddly enough, this was not you calling me. It was the phone call that definitely changed my life and not a call I ever wanted to get. Being informed of your passing made me sick. I was on the phone listening to what happened and I couldn't believe it. There is no way my Uncle passed away. I just saw him Saturday and this is impossible. The more I listened, I broke down and started to cry. I gathered myself up, walked out the building and drove home in tears. As the days went on, I still couldn't accept you not being here. I walked in your house on January 4th and I expected you to open the door for me with your polo pajama pants on or your personalized blue robe greeting me. :) I am still in disbelief and in so much pain over losing you. I hope you know how much I miss you. I have so many memories of you that will never fade. I think of my wedding day when you walked me down the aisle. I still laugh when you told me to speed it up because we were not on time. On a side note, Kelsey was the reason my wedding day ran slowly, not me. :) I think of my multiple hospital visits to see my sister and how we talked after I would leave her so I could give you a full report. You were so concerned about her well-being and you truly supported me on that very long journey and I cant thank you enough for that. I sit here smiling (and crying) while writing this because everyday I enter my home, the skateboard you gave me last year sits on my porch. And I am determined when the weather gets warmer, I am going to try it out! I miss talking about the latest news issues with you, politics and anything and everything in between. I really miss bringing you food every week. The food was really an excuse for me to see you. You were the one thing that was a definite "to do" on my weekends. You will never know the big hole you have left in my life. I am incredibly grateful/thankful that you moved here and that we spent so much time together. When people ask about you there are 2 things that can be said. You were a friend to everyone and no one ever had a bad word to say about you. Since your passing, I have been extremely lucky to meet your neighbors, your best friend Loni and your morning crew at 7-11. We all miss you and are better people for knowing you! I hope that you are up above with my parents and sis. I know you all will keep each other in good company. I LOVE YOU UNCLE! :)
