Many memories of high school and college with Jim, but my greatest memory was going to hear him play at Sneaky Pete’s in Gulfport around 1979. I met a fellow friend of Jim’s at his “gig” and married him. I truly will always remember that performance of Jim’s. Rest In Peace, our Friend. Connie and Larry Galloway
Growing up, Jim and Natalie lived in my neighborhood on the south side of town. I will never forget the pool parties my family was invited to and the kindness they showed us. Jim made the best burgers and I would ask him if I could take some home and he always made sure to grill enough so there were a few left over for me. He was genuinely the nicest man I've ever met and I will miss him.
I took several of Dr. Adam's classes during my BS and MS here at MSU. He always made class interesting and fun. His humor and love for what he was doing always was showing. He was a very special teacher and he will be missed! I'm praying for your family.
My beloved Jimmy Jeff; You made this Okie girl feel special. I will treasure the fun times our families had together. Get the guitar ready, “snap your fingers” and we’ll all be together again!!! Love you, G
Dr. James Adams will be greatly missed. I worked with him for 20 years at Mississippi State University. He is a true friend and a colleague. He loves everyone and establishes rapport easily with others. Dr. Adams always finds a way to make colleagues laugh and has uncanny ability to diffuses tension and calm people down. He is good-humored and empathizes with others. He is well loved.

We met the Adams family when Jim came to Tony's Donut Shop (Tavern) to play his great original songs. He was an instant hit with all the folks and it didn't hurt that Natalie tagged along . What started as a customer relationship soon blossomed into a lasting friendship. He will be in our hearts forever. Lynn & Lynn Anselmo
