My sentiments to the family of James A. Kearns.  He always had a friendly greeting and made me smile with his witty comments everytime that I saw him.  He will be greatly missed here at BB&T.

All of us at East Coast loved you so much! You made us all feel special! It will never be the same without you "pops"!

What a testament to a wonderful man who made many friends and memories along his short journey!  James was the kindest man who touched many lives.  He will definitely be missed by many and his BB&T family.  May you find comfort in these things in the days to come and celebrate him and his life!!

My condolences to the Kearns family. I have lots of memories, stories of James that make me smile. From being a Tarheel fan, pulling for Gordon,he stood behind it.All the years I knew him and worked with him he never changed. James was one of a kind for sure.God Speed

May you look to happy memories to help you thru this difficult time. 
You are all in my thoughts & prayers.
