Well done “13” . . . in the gym and in life. You won your race! You soared on the wings of eagles with the mighty strength of a tiger. The angels welcome you to the Heavenly courts finding rest in the hollow of His hand. Sincere condolences to family and friends.

Sweet Jimmy. Always smiling and surrounded by his friends! He will be missed by all. My sympathies to his family during this time. Peace and love.
The 'Hawk' came to Treadwell Jr. High in the 8th grade from Hattiesburg, MS. I told him my uncle lived in Hattiesburg and we had just visited him there as he was the President of William Cary Jr. College. Jimmy said that he definitely knew of the college in Hattiesburg. Plus, we both ended-up playing basketball as it was a great source of brotherhood and comradery. During all those moments we struck a strong bond and became teammates and remained good friends for over 50 years. I loved that man. He will be dearly missed. Phillip Rauls - Seattle area
