Dang it I have been out of state a few weeks and just seen the post and Im very sad to hear the news what a great informative man with so much knowledge and compassion for the sport and fellowship of fishing sorely gonna miss his advice and adventures told on oaf praying for his family and Id like to thank him for his advice and friendship SAC RIVER JIM RIP!

I stopped by the visitation last night in Mt. Vernon. They had it set up really nice with pictures of Jim and some of his fish catches. Also had his Ranger hat and Jersey on his casket. The casket had bass on all 4 corners, I bet Jim would have been tickled with that.

There were lots of people when I was there and I just kind of got in and out. Did not have the opportunity to meet his sister, but could feel her pain.

All in all you could tell Jim had left his mark, by the amount of folks that were stopping by.

Great tribute to a very nice guy.

Same. With the funeral. Jim was laid with 5 generations of family. His sister. Lead us all in singing amazing grace.

Bearers were Mr Mike Dill- Mr Mike Higgins- Mr Brad Taylor- Mr Dave Engroff- Mr Billy Brake- Mr Sherman Wilkerson

They were top notch. Wearing tournament shirts and each with a deep respect for Jim and his Family

Billy Brake brung Jims ranger He set Mountain Dew on it laid rods out and tied a Pappys spinnerbait. On. That Jim was smoking them on

Jim had great Amigos

Preacher Lendall Morris. Was amazing . God intended for Lendall to Guide people. Lendall at one time was a Professional Fisherman with a desire to whoop you at fishing ! I have a church home in Republic. if I Did not. I wouldn't wait a minute to attend his service!

Any one should speak to this fellow fisherman . I think very Highly of him. I hope to share a trip with him one day

I walked away with a perspective from his message I know I am twisting his words a bit but this what I took of it

The difference. Between saints and sinners is Saints have a past. And sinners have a future : heaven and lost family members

sac River was a Saint type person

to all that attended If you see me on the water say howdy
