As youngsters, Jim and I grew up together. I still consider him as a good friend. He will be missed by all. Ron

Jim's disease never infected his salvation, his faith, his love for his wife and his family. With these, he "infected" us.

Dear Diane & family- We are so very sorry to learn of your loss. Jim was one of the nicest persons we ever had the privilege of knowing. His easy going manner always put us at ease. And he always had a smile. Bob remembers to this day sitting in the last rows at church & watching Jim and Marcille acting up unlike Bob amd Sarah (which is so untrue), Such fond memories... Indeed we will miss him! We will keep you in our thoughts & prayers- all our love- Bob $ Sue

Diane,

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. I remember the good times we had long, long ago when Jim, you and I all worked at Sylvania, ate lunch together at the hotel, etc. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Diane, Tracy, and Family:

My thoughts and prayers to all of you. Even though I knew
Jim a short time , he was very kind and gentle in the short visits.
He was very sincere and we had a connection with his job at
GM and his boss. Take care and know others care.

Jim was a great workmate - always had a smile on his face. Loved to visit and talk about family.
He will be missed by all his GM friends.

Was doing some research on the Albirtus Russell family geology, and was SHOCKED to read of Jimmy Lee's obituary. I remember when we were kids and went to the family reunions at the park in Bowling Green, it was always the Sun. after Labor day and we never could go swimming. On time Murrey had just bought a new blue Pontiac, and was he ever proud, but my dad was always a Ford man. One time we were at your house and the men had on gooffy hats and my dad had a play gun and jim wanted his gun back because he wanted to play too. Larry kept calling my dad "Johnny Junior". I can still hear him laugh. Once our families took a trip to the Wisconsin Dells, don't know why we went there but I knew we were going to sink when they put all those cars on the ferry. When my dad and Marcille were married, he loved Jims kids like they were his own. All of you were so good to him and I thank you for that. My sincere sympathy and love to each of you in this time of sadness. Shirley

I had the previlege and honor to have worked with Jim in the Human Resource department at General Motors for a couple of years. He always had a smile on his face and was a very positive influence to all he came in contact with. He would share with me stories of his family, especially his grandchildren and would often share pictures. He would also share of his faith and what his church and church family meant to him. I know that he will be greatly missed by everyone. He will be waiting for his loved ones to join him in heaven and will be there to greet us with that warm and caring smile. Our prayers go out to you.
