Jimmie P. Cokinos

My deepest condolences to Ms Bonnie and Family. Mr. C will be greatly missed.

One of my earliest memories of then Mayor Cokinos was his obtaining a pair of bear cubs for our City Zoo. When he 'introduced' them via TV, they promptly escaped and climbed the draperies in his office! Always enjoyed visiting with him over the years. He will be long remembered. My sincere condolences to Bonnie, his children and extended family.

To the family of Jimmie, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Jimmie and Miss Bonnie have been friends for many years.
Regards,
Rix and Brenda Garey

Dear Ms. Bonnie, Stacey and Andrea,
We are so sorry to hear of your dear husband and father passing away. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. May you be comforted to know how loved Mr. Jimmy was (and your whole family is) and what an evidently fantastic job he accomplished in raising his wonderful children and in touching so many lives. God Bless.

Miss Bonnie, I am saddened to hear of Mr. Cokinos' passing. I remember him taking "home movies" of the recitals and showing them up at Miss Judith's studio. You have my thoughts and prayers. Cynthia Hawkins-Bowland

Jimmie was an important part of my growing up years. My thoughts of him are warm and positive. His connections with my family goes back almost 70 years. Jimmie represented both Beaumont and the county with honor and dignity. He will be missed. Bonnie, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during your sadness. Countless numbers of people share your sadness.

Jimmie was like an old southern gentlemen. He always would recognize you even if you had not seen him in years.
Several years back, I saw him in the bank and he came up and spoke to me though it had been sometime since I had seen him There are not many people left like Jimmie. My
sympathy goes out to the family. Beaumont has lost one of their finest.

Vaya con Dios, Mayor/Commissioner! God bless Miss Bonnie, Andre and the entire Cokinos family....

Thank you, Jimmie, for your courage in fighting for our country and securing our freedom and in your courage in fighting for human rights at home and for your fine example in how a statesman lives and acts. I am better for having known you. We all are.

I am so sorry I can't be there. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
