I have fond memories of Jim...When I would see Jim at maybe Bonnie's parents' home in Paragould, AR, or a family reunion or, on the rare occasion, when he would journey to our deer camp in north central Arkansas with Bonnie's dad-Jim was always genuinely happy to see me, to see us! He impressed me as a kind and compassionate man who loved others, who loved Jesus & certainly loved his family! I will pray for comfort, peace and healing today and in the days to come.

Jim was a wonderful neighbor! We will always remember him out on his mower working in his yard making sure it looked just right. We miss you both in the cul de sac ! We are thinking of you Bonnie and keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers! Hug Happy for us and take care of yourself Bonnie during this difficult time!

Jen, Matt, Jacob, Zachary, Bonnie & the entire Talley family, I am so sorry for your loss of Jim. Praying for all of you and sending hugs. Kim

Jim was my neighbor for several years. Upon arriving, he immediately got the survey updated to show exactly where our properties meet. His property backed up to a green belt with a wet creek running the full length. The previous owners had left the entire area unimproved and in some disarray. It wasn’t long before he had a brand new John Deere mower and pull behind trailer. He spent hours and hours, days and days improving that property. Many days I would look out my window and see a fire burning old wood and debris. Jim was a hard worker and enjoyed a good joke. He was fun to talk to and when he moved away, he was missed. Godspeed Jim! Kevin Bray
