I met Jim some many years ago when he returned to Asheville. He was a great, caring and loving man. His heart was pure. He was a wonderful friend and brother to me at times.
Ms. Green, I didn’t know until tonight. I am so sorry and shocked.Not enough words.
Jimmy and I met through a mutual friend. He worked hard to create a clientel and build several beauty shops over the years from the ground up. Everyone liked Jim. He was a breath of fresh air to everyone he met. I am lucky enough to have been his friend for over 20 years and through Jimmy also blessed with his mothers friendship. I know he is being taken care of and his dreams are being realised. There is a void in our hearts. His kindness, respect, and generosity will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
