Dear, Dear Jim - I miss you so very much. . . your gentle nature, your warm smile, your happy blue eyes, your kind sense of humor, your love of everyone around you, your nicknames for others, the way you lived your life for others, and the respect you have always shown everyone that was lucky enough to cross paths with you. I'll always cherish my little keepsake - the ladle that says, "Always Ready to Serve." I know you are resting in peace & enjoying the company of your "redhead." Tuesday, September 13, 2011 |

What a life well lived! We were blessed when we moved to Beaumont to have Mr. Nichols as our neighbor. On his regular morning walks he brought our paper from the street to our front door and picked up trash throughout Belle Chase. He helped numerous neighbors in special ways with an infectious smile and always a kind word. We always admired his spirit and buoyant attitude, all the while he cared for his ailing bride those many long years. Every husband and wife could only be so lucky when they are stricken like she was. Connie always enjoyed making cookies for Mr. Jim and he was always too kind to let her know if it was his favorite. We were truly blessed to share a part of his walk on God's green earth. Tuesday, September 13, 2011 |

My family and I used to serve Mr. Nichols homebound Communion at Collier Park for Trinity. We thought the world of him and just loved sitting and talking with him. He always had a big wonderful smile and we really enjoyed listening to him talk about his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now but we take comfort in the fact that he is smiling down on all of us right now. Tuesday, September 13, 2011 |

There was no finer a gentleman than Jim. I met him 30 years ago when he sold us tile for homes we were building. We quickly became repeat customers! Our relationship grew from a businessman who served us, to a friend for the rest of his life. His ready smile brightened a room and he always had one for anyone he encountered...along with a kind and inspirational word. Jim was the consummate "good neighbor"...always looking for a way to help someone out... and he considered the entire Golden Triangle and beyond his "neighborhood." He will be missed.
