Jim and I use to play golf together many years ago in Lafayette. We went to school together, unfortunately we lost touch over the years. My prayers are with him
My condolences to Jim's wife Poochie and family. He,I & others in Ville Platte grew up together riding motorcycles. Many fond memories of the times we shared in out youth. Rest in peace brother and catch you soon on the other side. Prayers to the family.
Where to begin--way too many memories to put into print. The memory that comes immediately to mind was when Jim turned 50 years old. I sent him one black rose every day the week before he turned 50 and one dozen black roses on his actual birthday. It cost me a small fortune, but I thought it was well worth it. Well, how quickly I forgot that I was turning 40 on MY next birthday. Jim planned well ahead of time. He put some black balloons on my mailbox. My birthday being in January and the ground being frozen, Jim proceeded to dig a grave in my yard and he actually put a headstone on it. He then left a dead plant at my front door. Well, after that, we both decided to leave well enough alone and just celebrate our birthdays after that!!! You will be sorely missed, Jimbo. Love and prayers to you, Oliva and prayers to Corey, Marcus and London. I love you all and I know we'll see him again in heaven. I'm sure he's planning my reception!
All my love,
Toni Veillon
Mrs. Oliva, London and boys, I am so shocked to see this. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry you all are going through this pain and loss.
