Jim was a compassionate yet strict probation officer; a effective & dependable Magistrate appointed and reappointed many times by me; my favorite fishing companion; and most of all a good & loyal friend. We will not see his equal again.
I also am a member of Calvary Baptist Church and have remembered Mr. Maney since childhood when I was in his Sunday school department. My sympathies to his family.
Chris and Gaden,
I was sorry to hear about the death of your Father. While I did not know him, I know what it is like to lose a Father having lost mine in 1983. My condolences are extended to the both of you and your families.

We wanted to extend our sympathies and to let you know you and your family are in our thoughts.
My fondest memories of your dad are of him at Aston Park Health Care where he and my late husband, Brown Griffin, were residents together. Jim was always so kind and understanding with Brown. He always had good things to say to me about my love and care for Brown.
May God comfort your hearts upon your father’s death. I know that he, along with Brown, is in the presence of our risen Lord. No more suffering and anguish down here. They have won the race!
With my love and sympathy,
Judy Griffin

Jim had the capacity to make everyne feel special. He loved people and seemed to be happiest when he was surrounded by family and friends. He was never without a sense of fun and laughter – even when he was ill.
No doubt, we will recall many beautiful memories of Jim and Jenny and their family over the coming years. So – thanks for the memories!
My most heartfelt condolences for a man who will live in my fond memories of Westwood Place and Maney Bros Grocery. Jim and Bill always treated the neighborhood kids like their own. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
I have been so Blessed to have had Jim in my life during my growing up years on Westwood Place and to continue as a friend to the end. The Maney Family was a wonderful asset to our Neighborhood. Maney Bros. Grocery with Jim and Bill will always be a part of me. Thanks for the Memories Joyce Legg
