    Jim was my good friend. He was one of the best read people I know. He would read my books and offer constructed criticism that I had not thought of that help me in rewrites. He was an excellent motor cycle rider that I had many fun rides with. He was a good man and I will miss him.

    Harold (Jim) was one of my favorite cousins. I loved him…for many reasons, but
    mostly because he was always so kind and soft spoken. I noticed him often being extra
    friendly to others and always trying to make them feel welcome, especially if it was a
    family member. The world needs more people like him. He will be greatly missed by
    all who knew and loved him.
    My love to all his family and friends.
    I send heartfelt condolences.

    Did not know Mr. Banes real well. He and Coleta bought our house in Watson. I talked to him a few times since then. They were a nice couple and I am so sorry for your loss. 🙏🏼

    You must all be terribly upset, I’m so sorry.

    With the deepest sympathy from Amy Thompson and Family.

    We’ll always miss him.
