Jim Lightfoot was a good man who will be missed by many.  I enjoyed the time I spent with him at Pearland and Lake McQueeny.  A donation in his honor will be made to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Educational Fund.  Rest in Peace Foot.

So saddened for this loss.  He was one of my late brother’s, (Bill Smith) best friends.  He was always in and out of our home when I was a kid.  He and Bill and other friends were always up to some antics and I was in awe of them all. He was an attendant in my brother’s wedding and there for us all when Bill passed away much too soon.  A dear, kind, and FUN man.

Condolences to not just family but to all those friends Jim made during his life.  He was soft spoken but loud with his humor and helping others.  If you shared even the smallest of difficulties he would offer a helping hand.  He loved his ice cream and was enjpyin some when he passed.  Thanks Jim for the friendship and memories.

Kim Nash, Cherry Whitley, Jim and Karen - Las Vegas 1975

Jim and Kim Nash deer hunting in the 70’s.

Jim was very special and I have known him and Karen since 1975.  He always wanted to have fun and be involved with all the exciting times.  We would be sitting at Elans and he said - let’s go to Las Vegas and within hours - we were there.  Eating frog legs and watching football.  Saturdays at Luthers barbeque.  Jim and I would meet for lunch and he would always ask me to bring some old pictures of the days when Kim Nash, Jim and all his buddies would go fishing and hunting.  And of course Matthew, who cooked for everyone, was so much fun.  Our last lunch was at Fuad’s and I gave him alot of pictures of the 70’s and showed him the Elan’s newsletter and we both said - “Those were the Best Days”. Well, my friend, spending time with you was the Best of those Days. Our fathers knew each other from the 50’s and 60’s and their businesses were across the street from each other so there is a long history with Jim, Karen and the all the family members.  You will be missed by all your friends.    Cherry Whitley

Jim was a great friend for 60+ years. He was one of a kind and had a wonderful sense of humor and loved life to the fullest. You will be missed by many, God Bless You Jim.

I only knew Jim through common friends, but was fortunate enough to break bread with him a few times.  He was always such a pleasant guy to be with.  My deepest condolences to the family.

My sincere condolences to the family.  He was so nice and very kind always.  A true gentleman.
