I know this is late, but sometimes news reaches me late. But, one thing is for sure, Jim was not late for his arrival in Paradise. I hope and pray that he is with his and your daughter, as well as with ours. I will never forget coming down and getting Jim's help on making overheads for a series of lesson on the Lord's Supper. He was a true Christian and gospel preacher. Those who listened will always be blessed! Love to you and the family.

Aunt Maria & Christa, 

I so wished I could have come to the funeral. I love you guys very much. I just wanted you to know that I have been thinking & praying for you both.

I Would love to hear from you & to chat with you both.

It is hard to think that Uncle Jim isn't here anymore; yet I know he has entered God's rest & I know I will see him again one day.


May God Bless & keep you both during this sad & hard time. Remember: Absent from the Body, Present with the
Lord!

In Christ, Delani

I am so sorry to hear of brother Needham's passing.  It is sad for us but good for him.  He was a mentor and friend.  He was so helpful, not only to me, but also to my folks, Cecil & Marie Hafley.  My sympathy to all the family.

Maria and family, I know that brother James weathered so many storms of all kinds! He and I got off on a bit of "wrong foot" at Palm River, but it got to be funny how we were on the same wave length! I could mouth something, which he would see, then tell the class: "Genie just said ..." and would quote me! Our loss is surely his gain. Love and prayers for you.

Dear Maria, Christa and Family, an abundance of Love, an infinite circle of Hugs and endless Prayers for each of you as you come to terms with such a deep void caused by Jim leaving this physical world. His love for our Lord and for each of you lives on in your heart, your memories and your Love for our Lord. God bless you and always guide your ways. In Christ.

So sorry to hear of Bro Needham's passing. The world is definitely a better place for his time on earth teaching and preaching the gospel he will be missed. Bro Needham baptized me 42+ years ago and conducted Susan and I marriage 41+ years ago. Sympathy is extended to Maria and Christa.

I have known, loved and appreciated Jim Needham since the late 1940's when we were fellow students at FHC. He endured his share of the hardships of life He faithfully and fearlessly "preached the word" throughout his life. Now his spirit has returned to the Father who made it. Let us all set our hopes on things eternal, and be ready when our Father has no more work for us to do in this world. May our Father's blessings rest abundantly upon his family and many friends who are left behind.

Jim encouraged me to become a Christian when I was a teenager and continued to encourage me as a gospel preacher. I am sorry to hear of his passing.

Keith and Bobbie Jean Burnett in Russellville have many fond memories of sitting at the feet of this wonderful evangelist.  We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the family member.  He will be missed, but we know that he is where he always wished to be upon departure from this life.

My Sympathy to the family and friends, especially his wife.  Bro. Needham is someone I remember my late father, Donald Townsley, talking of  from my earliest childhood days -- he held him in such high regard, and Bro. Needham was such a force for good during the institutional fight of the 50's - 60's.  As an adult, I have appreciated the work Bro. Needham has done.  His work "yet lives" through his writings, and through the people that he taught.  While I know his family and friends grieve for his loss, there is also rejoicing because another one of God's own has gone to his reward.  That will give you comfort in these dark days.

Brother Needham was such an inspirational influence on me and my family's life. We have all gained so much knowledge from his teachings and Christian experiences. He will be greatly missed. Maria and Christa, may your faith grow stronger during your time of sorrows. You will continuously be in my prayers. I love you both; your sister in Christ; Tammie Whitted and family.

Christa and Tim,
Your father was a special man, many were blessed to know him. Please give our condolences to your Mother and family.  Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

Brother James was a good friend. I'm a better person for knowing him. I loved his lessons and learned/grew a lot from him. Fond memories of dining together and good conversation. I miss him. The world is a better place from his presence and the good work he did for many years right up to the end. My thoughts and prayers are with you sister Maria, Christa and the whole Family. Love, Mel

Dear Maria, Christa and family,
I was so sorry when I heard about Jim's passing. He was such a wonderful, Godly man that had a strong, lasting influence in my life.
As I was growing up in the Church I learned so much from him.
Personally, I valued the 'fatherly' attitude he always had toward me.
The treasured memories of so many years can't be numbered. Many, many days and nights Christa and I were together, and he always treated me with affection, and gave me the same sound advice as he did Christa.
Anyone that knew him is a much better person for the experience.
He brought so many to Christ, and he taught God's word with love and fervent devotion. He has fought the good fight, and earned his reward.
I know he was a great daddy and husband. His love for his family was evident, and an example to any man.
He will be sorely missed.
I loved him a lot. He is forever in my heart. I am thinking of you all. You're in my prayers.
Much love from Mom and me,
Kathie

Maria we were so sorry to hear about Jim.  I am so thankful we got to come over and spend a short time with you both.  You know how much we both love and appreciate you all and your influence for the Lord.  You have always been a great encouragement to us.  We love you and you are in our thoughts and prayers.  Charles & Chris
