I have just received the shocking news about the passing of a great man, father, and friend. I met Jim back around 1990 and had the distinct pleasure of spending many wonderful days with him. Just a few memories-- State/UNC football games, picking me up off the Applachian Trail near Franklin and telling me how bad I smelled! Ossabaw island, Clemson, Merlefest, Holly, their wedding, the births of his children, fishing, his generosity and wonderful personality. My wife Julie and I are blown away and regret only finding out now. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, he was a outstanding person and will remain in our hearts and memories.

- Nelson Eubanks, Brewer, ME

Holly, we were so sorry to learn of the death of James. We didn't know him but we know you and we know you would have had a wonderful husband.

- Joe and Ann Stubbs, Savannah, GA

To the Simmons' Family, I remember exactly where Jim sat in my classroom. He was a joy to teach. He was never one just to sit and occupy space, but he added to the class by asking questions and leading discussions. This morning when I read about his accomplishments in the paper I was not at all surprised because I expected no less from him. My life has been blessed by teaching and knowning students like your husband and your father. Mary Lois Williams

- Hope Browning Hardy, Snow Hill,, NC

Holly, James Edward, Adair and all your family, I want to take this opportunity to tell you how much I liked Jim and appreciated how he helped me while Tonya and Nick were out of town, bringing me groceries and medicine. I would tease him about Holly fanning in the Savannah heat while expecting Adair. Everytime I saw him he would say we are still waiting and fanning and laugh. I was so glad that Tonya and Nick had neighbors their age and we are going to miss him, but I know that he is with the Lord and that is comforting. If you ever need anything please call me. I am in the book. Love, Gail Thurman Tonya Rintye's Mom

To Jim's Family - I did not know Jim except through stories that Stavie shared with me about him. But I could hear in her voice the love and admiration that she felt for her brother. I wish that I had been able to meet him in person. His too short life will be cherished by all. Peace and love...

- Raza Lynn Killian, Raleigh, NC

My sincere sympathy is extended to Jim's immediate and extended family. Many years ago there was the Dixie Theater in Scotland Neck, N. C. I recall well being in the theater when a very pregnant with Jim Lena came in with her husband Jimmy. That was the summer of 1970 and just a very short time before Jim was born. About five years later I was Jim's kindergarten teacher at Enfield Academy. I remember Jim's ever present smile. I haven't seen Jim for a very long time. It sounds like, though, that his ever present small was at least one of his trademarks. I was saddened to learn of Jim's passing. Speaking from experience, I can speculate that only those who have experienced a loss such as this really know or can identify with the pain. No doubt Jim's light will forever shine in the hearts and minds of those who knew him. I hope adjusting to this tragedy will be smooth. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Colleen Bunting
