I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your loved one. Unfortunately, death is never easy to deal with and the hardest part is now. The best advice that I can give is to: Depend on God, even if you don’t understand why things happen. You will understand one day. Cry as much as you want. Laugh about the good and silly times as much as you want. Everyone has their own way of mourning. So love each other through this difficult time. Most importantly, God and time will heal you. Just remember to take one day at a time. God bless you and your family.

I will remember Jim as both a lion and a lamb. He always showed great kindness to me was generous of his time and his spirit in all he did. He loved his family dearly and tried to do something special and meaningful for each. May his memory bring warmth and smiles to all of us who will miss him.

As loved ones leave us, we sense a void. Please know that even though we can’t see them in the physical world, they are always with us spiritually. Your father will continue to guide you.

My condolences to you and your family during this hard time. I am sorry to hear of the passing of your father. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Dear Bill, Cathy and Dyess family, try to find comfort in knowing that not only was he a warm, loving father to you but that you were a great source of pride, love and enjoyment for him. All our thoughts, love and prayers are with you. Debbie & Sherrill Ward

We wish you all the Love and Sympathy on the loss of a great man. Dad, Mr. Happy and I were long time neighbors. I remember him always singing and whistling on his way out in the morning and then coming home at night. Jim was always looking out for my children when I wasn’t home. He treated them like his own. When ever I needed anything he was there. One thing that sticks out is when something was broken you use crazy glue. Even when you cut yourself. He laways had something to speak about and was always learning. You never knew where the conversation would go but it was always interesting. Love ya Dad, Will miss you very much. Debbie ,Eugene,Kelly and grandchildren……………………

I did not know Jimmie all that well and had not seen him since I was a little girl but thanks to Face Book and E-mail we became aquainted and shared things about our family. Jimmie and I were cousins. My heart is warmed by all the things his friends and family have shared about him, that says it all if your family can speak well of you. What a tribute to such a fine man. I will miss hearing from him but am thankful I got to know him.

On Behalf of my father and the family of Dillard Proctor I want to acknowledge James Dyess’ always caring messages of love and concern. Although I did not have personal know James he would reach out to me and my family in emails. He must have been an wonderful father, grandfather, husband and friend.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

The Proctor Girls parents Clinton and Mildred Proctor

I, like my sister Barbara Forintos did not have the opportunity to know James well but had shared e-mails with him. He was so kind always checking on my dad and I know my dad felt fondly about him. I am sorry for your loss and hope the wonderful memories that you have of your father, grandfather, and friend bring you comfort.

Dear Dyess Family… Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all. Jim was an amazing man and always filled the room with positive energy. Rest assured that his energy is still all around you. May you find strength in each other during this difficult time.
