    I am James Kings niece. My mother Maryetta was his sister. As a kid I spent a lot of time with uncle Jimmy and aunt Carol and Dawn. I can remember all the hours at the lake fishing. Even if they never caught anything. My uncle never met a stranger in life. He always had a smile always. We spent may days at his home and sleep overs there. He has definitely earned his wings May God walk with you for the rest of eternity uncle jimmy you will be missed
