Jimmie P. Cokinos

I was in the second grade at Sally Curtis Elementary. Elizabeth Cokinos was in my class. Mr. Cokinos was mayor at that time and was beloved by all. To my surprise and I'm sure others, Mr. Cokinos came into the lunchroom during our lunch period and sat down at our table next to Elizabeth just to have lunch with her. We felt like we were with royalty, but soon realized that he was just a caring uncle that loved his niece enough to take time out of his busy schedule to go have lunch with her. The world has lost a true gem of a man. May God bless all of his family in their time of grief.

Andre, your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Chris

Mrs. Cokinos, Andre and Stacie - you have my sincere condolences on the loss of your husband and dad! This was such a beautiful and moving tribute to a very special man. I remember his always-ready smile, whether he was enjoying one of our pep rallies or being host to a group of kids. He had a unique gift of making people feel special. You were truly blessed to have your dad with you as long as you did. You're in my prayers.

Bonnie, I want to extend my deepest sympathies to you and your children. Jimmy was a great man and was loved by a lot of people. Paul dearly loved Jimmy and looked up to him. May God give you comfort. I was out of town, so regretfully was not able to attend the funeral. Faye Prejean.

Uncle Jimmie, may you rest in peace and your memory be eternal. We will miss your smiling face deeply. Proud to be your niece . Love , Nena

Bonnie, I send my hugs at a time when I'm dealing with my own husband's death this month. I know you are breaking inside, but as a random woman said to me when I got on the Marta train in Atlanta, "Honey, you think you will break, but you are like a pine tree that bends with the storm winds. You will not break." Where these angels come from to tell us these things when we need it the most, I don't know. However, I'm so glad they arrived. Bonnie, hugs to you always.

Dear Miss Bonnie, Stacie and Andre,

With sadness I learned of Mr. Cokinos passing. What great memories I have of him supporting us during our high school years and beyond! His sparkling personality and smile will be missed. My sincere condolences to the family.

Lou and I send our condolences to Miss Bonnie, Andre and Staci. Jimmy was quite a guy. We will miss him.

What lovely tributes you and Andre have made to your Papa! Love to all of you,

I worked for Mr. Jimmie's dentist for years and it was always the highlight of my day when he had an appointment. Mr. Jimmie was special. He always had a twinkle in his eye. He never failed to ask about my family. He was a credit to his nation and community and a down to earth yet classy gentleman. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
