in honor of James.

My sincere sympathy goes out to Jim's loving family, Jeana (Chris) Shroyer, Cheryl (Ken) Hatcher, and Jodi (Darrell) Babcock; grandchildren: Alyssa (Andrew) White, Andrew Shroyer, Cole Babcock, Madison Reynolds, Drew and Adam Hatcher; great-granddaughter: Lucy; his loving companion Bobbi Carr and sons Bryce and Jarrod; brother: Richard (Cathy) Carr; and his beloved dog Ava. My husband built onto Wiese when Jim was working in Decatur, IL. Jim never met a stranger and made many friends. We shared many dinner 's with Jim, created great memories and always enjoyed his company, we even got to see that big smile he'd get while in the Ozark's. There's no doubt he will be missed by all of his family and friends. He was so down to earth. One of his favorite sayings was, some people can't handle the truth. He was honest and if he liked you he'd give you the shirt off of his back. Life is so short. It's sad that God only loans us our loved ones for such a short time. The strength to carry on is the great memories that is left behind.

Jim is my first cousin and we are 6 months different in age. We grew up across the street (hardroad) from each other in Macon and attended Macon schools together. During our working years we lived in different areas of the country but stayed in touch - especially since our retirement. And we got to see him quite often considering our distant living places. He was my source on current on happenings in Macon and Decatur - almost weekly.

To Jim's girls, to Bobbi and to Richard and many friends I am saddened by his passing as I know you are. I pray you find peace in knowing he has touched many lives by friendship, kindness and loyalty. Gwen and I will miss him.

My condolences to Jim's family. I worked with Jim for many years before he retired from Wiese in 2010. He did an incredible job growing the Decatur branch - he was passionate about winning, serving the customer, growing and moving forward. Thanks Jim for all you did and for your friendship.

It's probably been 25 years since I saw Jimmy at my son, Ricks wedding. He was laughing, having a good time. I can still hear his laughter from 50 years ago when all our kids were babies and our lives were just beginning. His parents, Jim and Thelma loved having everyone at their table to celebrate the young families. I am so grateful to have been part of the Carr family for those few years. Uncle Jimmy and his girls continued to be important to my son Rick. I love seeing the girls and their families on Face Book. My heart goes out to all of you for your loss.

Sincerely Nancy English (formerly Nancy Carr)
