Jim was a great guy, a stalwart of Fleetwood neighborhood.  There were many happy memories of all the parties and occasions where we laughed and joked and had a lot of fun and camaraderie.  I have been gone from Fleetwood since 2012 and been spending most of the last two years in Atlanta Ga.  I remember the Dove hunts down in Mexico too.  We spent 35 years in Fleetwood and those were the best of times.  Jim was a few year older than me, so I'm right behind him.  My sweet and loving  condolences to Nell and all the kids.  

Jean and I are very sorry for your loss. 
Please accept our love and prayers. 

Jimmy & Jean

Dear Nell and Family, 
How sad we all are today for the loss of your wonderful husband Jim.  I understand the place you find yourself in now and I pray God will comfort you at this very difficult time. May you find healing in your precious memories of your long marriage to Jim.  God be with you all in this time of grief.  Love, Betty Ann

Dearest Nell and family,

We are so very sorry for your loss of wonderful Jim.  I knew him and his family from infancy into adulthood as my mother and his Mother, Sannie,  were very close friends and worked at Hockaday together and were members of music organizations in Dallas.   I also knew his brother Vincent and his wife.  Jim always made everyone feel comfortable and special and he knew how to make us laugh.  It was a joy to have known Jim, and you, Nell, and to see that you had a happy,  devoted 53 years together raising your family and enjoying friends.  Please know our thoughts are with you and your entire family during these next few trying days and weeks ahead.  With our sincere sympathy, Lou Ann (Lancaster) and Mike Corboy

Dearest Nell.  My thoughts are with you these days and the hope you will let me know if ever I can help you.  This is a hard time I know.  As you will remember, we were all such great friends in the good ole days---you, Jim, Ann, Don, George and me.  Certainly, Jim will be so missed, but leaves wonderful, fun, great memories.   Much love, patti

Adding to what Don wrote: What a blessing Jim and Nell have been to our entire family!  I have so many wonderful memories of our many years together. Our daughters have been and will remain best friends forever-what a gift! Our children will always remember Jim's "Duckman" impression.  He could outdo Donald Duck himself.  Another fun memory is when Don and Jim sang "To All The Girls I've Loved Before" in a recording booth in San Francisco. Jim was blessed with a beautiful voice.  He sang in many church choirs and could play a "mean" accordion. Finally, I never remember a time when we were together that Jim didn't say to Don "We married the most beautiful women in the world". In short, Jim was a loving husband, father, friend who made everyone feel special. I will miss him!

We don't get to choose our parents or our siblings, but we do get to choose our friends. In 1960 in Dallas, I chose Jim O'Connor as a friend and thank God he chose me back.  For almost 60 years Jim and I have been very close, owned farms cows cars and boats together. Raised our families as one.  I was going to say through good times and bad, but with Jim, I don't remember any bad ones.
 He was the closest person I had to a brother and I could not have loved a real one more. I will miss him greatly! 

What a wonderful man, and family. I will never forget how warm both Jim, and Nell were to me with their welcome into the family. I remember them hosting the most wonderful and festive wedding dinner rehearsal party for Cindy and I. Jim was in festive spirits and sporting a sombrero to greet us at the door, and being there to walk Cindy down the aisle.  There are so many more wonderful memories, I will never forget. 

Thank you Jim, for sharing your, Love.

With love,
Michael Schlosser.

My thoughts and prayers to the family. I will miss Christmas poker with Uncle Jim. Much love.

May God wrap his loving arms around you all during this time.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Hugs!

To: Nell and family.  We were so sorry to hear of Jim,s passing. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Bob and Gay Rod
