Thanks for all the GOOD memories we had. Love you!

Love you, Jim. Thanks for all the GOOD memories.

Praying for your family at this time that you will find peace and strength through God during this difficult time.

My dearest condolences to Verda and his family! He was the sweetest many I could have taken care of at good shepherd. I remember when I found out I was pregnant with my son he was the one of the first person to know. And he always made sure to tell me I’m going to be a great mom.

Plese accept my sincere condolences to Verda and family. Jim was a special person whom I got to know at Good Shepherd Nursing Home.

Worked for Jim at Ormet. He was a good man and a good boss. Prayers and condolences to the family

Verda, I am so glad you were there with him on Sunday. It was the perfect ending to his wonderful life...peaceful and easy. I will miss him everyday.

Dear Verda, We are sending you many prayers from the 3 south family that you are okay through these tough times. We will never forget Jim or you and how much you both mean to all of us. I am terribly sorry that I couldn’t be there today but I’m sure the service will be beautiful. You and your family are in our thoughts.

Dear Verda, Brad, Becky and family. I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Such a kind, gentle man who will be missed by many. He was very special to his church family and everyone who knew him. Rest In Peace dear Jim.

Dear Verda Lee, and Jimmie's children, I was very saddened to learn of Jimmie's passing today. I had the blessing of knowing Jimmie since he was a very young teen. He lived just two blocks up the street from us, the Frank and Frances Blake family. My mom made friends with Jimmie when he came into Morningstar's grocery store to shop and she waited on him. Jimmie's dad worked for the railroad and was often gone. Jimmy and his brother Bob were left to " fend for themselves a lot" with his dad gone. Jimmy was soon being coached on how to fix simple meals by my mom. Jimmie usually only bought baloney for sandwiches. After awhile Mom had Jimmy for dinner. His younger brother Bob seldom joined him despite being invited. This is when I began to know Jimmy. After awhile Jimmy and my dad would do projects around the house. Dad would take Jimmy hunting and bought him his first dog I believe. And taught him to use a gun. My dad's brother, George, got to be friends with Jimmy also. One long Wheeling Steel strike my Uncle George and Aunt Mildred Blake took Jimmy with his daughter Mary Jo and me to stay at the Belmont Beagle Club. It sounds like a fancy place. It was nothing but an old big house on a farm the club bought and used for their meeting place and a place to train beagle hunting dogs. That was a glorious summer spent outdoors with the dogs in the fields, and baths and swimming in the old farm pond. Jimmie taught me to swim in that pond. So many memories of Jimmie I could go on for a longtime. When Jimmie and your mom had you, Sissy, your dad told me "I'm naming her after you Sis." Yes, Sis was my nickname. Maybe your dad spoke of me a time or two. I wish to send my love and sincere condolences to all of Jimmie's family. I wish we could of known each other. But, I married and moved away from WV. Jimmie was a prince of a man. I know Jimmie had a rough few years before going home to his Lord and savior. Today he is in heaven, probably with his family and my folks reminiscing. I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you Verda Lee, the love of his life, and his family. May he rest in peace in the house of our Lord. He will be missed and remembered for all his kindness to others. Much love to all of you. Kathy Blake Vessels-Liming

I met Jim through his sister, Sandye. Jim was a kind man, that I enjoyed talking too. RIP Jim.

Upon researching my family tree I discovered my great grandfather remarried & had more children which my family never knew existed. On March 03 2020 I was able to track down and meet my cousin James Richard Jones with the help of Robert Jones for the first and last time. I will be forever grateful for those moments however brief because I was blessed with meeting such a kind, loving man and his beautiful & gracious wife. I wish we had lived closer and known of each other much sooner. To his beautiful wife, family & friends I want to offer my deepest heartfelt condolences and please know my thoughts & prayers are with you & I wish I could be there in person. RIP

Verda and kids, So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was a warm and good man. Sending prayers to all of you. Verda it was so good to hear from you recently. Love. Cathy Doyle Pittman
