Jim, There are many things I will miss about you. Your unique sense of humor, which always made me laugh; your ability to grow any plant – how many times I called you for gardening advice and you always shared your knowledge; your generosity – you helped everyone in the family who needed it, no questions asked. You left us too soon, but our memories will keep you with us. Rest in Peace, my brother, my friend.

Jimmy Luckett, older brother of my oldest friend, Jan, mercilessly teased us when we were kids trying to hang out with him, taught us how to play blackjack so he could win our pennies, and enforcer and hero against any neighborhood bullies we or our friends/family encountered, RIP, Jimmy, I love you

Jim, I will miss you so much, especially at halftime when you would call me when Dolphins were playing (losing). And when there would be a storm out in the ocean, you would always call & say "we’re gonna get a lu lu. Being so close in age, I feel you were not only my brother but best friend, always watching over me in school where I always felt safe. Please tell Bruce & Dad hello & when my time comes , I will see you & them. I love you & will miss you, RIP Jimmy Your little sister, Jan
