I knew Jimmy through the legal world. He was an established lawyer when I started. Jimmy was a nice guy and never took advantage of a young lawyer that didn't know a thing about the practice of law. As years past we had many cases together and he was always a pleasure to work with. Jimmy will be missed. The world would be a better place with with more Jimmy Waters in it. God bless you Jimmy.

Sorry to hear about Jim's passing. He was our families attorney for many years. He was always willing to help us out and provide any legal advice/services. He was a sweet friendly and funny guy that was loved by many.

Jim was a big guy.....very big! He had to be, I guess, to house that big heart of his.
When my classmates and I began law school, not without a good measure of trepidation and anxiety, we were fortunate to have the Senior, Jim, who gladly went out of his way to "mother hen" and mentor us through the process. This didn't end with law school, either. Jim was a bright guy who knew what he was doing and out in
