Address: Lumberton, NC

"Bummie" was an individual of the highest character, a true patriot, attentive listener, excellent conversationalist, possessed of a keen sense of humor with an attractive bit of mischief and a true and dedicated friend to all. You have left us far the richer for your life among us, dear friend.

A memorial gift was presented to Godwin Heights Baptist Church in memory of James B. MacLeod by Mr. and Mrs. Tom Gibson, 315 Barker Ten Mile Road, Lumberton, NC 28358.  The gift will be acknowledged in our weekly bulletin and in our Book of Memorials and Honor.

I have known Jim since I was 16 years old when I tested for my first ham radio license with him.  We spent many, many years traveling to ham radio conventions (hamfests), and served together in the Amateur Radio Emergency Services in its inception in Robeson County, first spending a week in Red Springs after the tornados that hit that area. He always said I was the best code operator he know, and I considered that a high compliment.  I have lost a dear friend, confidant, mentor and father figure and I will miss his greatly.  He enriched my life so much.  Rest in Peace Jim.

I pray God's peace will comfort you during this difficult time. Joy Cobb(Orren's sister)

Bummie  was a long time true friend whom I will sorely miss.
I know that he rests in peace.

Mr. James was an extraordinary man. I am proud that I got to know him and work with him. My prayers are with his family.

Offering our deepest sympathies during this time.
