James Overton Bacon

JIM WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON... WE WERE INITIATED AND WERE KA'S TOGETHER FOR 3 YEARS. I WAS SADDENED TO HEAR OF HIS PASSING. HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND AND A GREAT KA BROTHER......

Cindy,
We were so very sorry to hear of the death of your husband, James. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Our deepest sympathy is extended to you. I will pray that God will comfort you during this very difficult time. I am thinking of you.
Love,

My first day in Botany class at MSU, our teacher Dr. Wise said the seats we are currently in will be our assigned seats unless someone objected. From the back of the room someone asked if it might be possible to exchange seats with someone closer to the front. An agitated Dr. Wise asked what was wrong with the seat you're in. Jim responded that his seat was fine, but a young lady had poor vision and needed to be closer to the front. That was my introduction to Jim; and over the next few...

I was grieved to hear of Jim's passing. I went to Treadwell with Jim and his family. His sister, Janis, was in my class (1965) at Treadwell. His mother was also a respected and revered teacher. This world will miss another wonderful person such as Jim.

JIM IS A GREAT PERSON AND GOOD FRIEND. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. JIM AND I WORKED TOGETHER WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE MEMPHIS AMATEUR SPORTS HALL OF FAME TOGETHER. HIS DEDICATION AND EFFORTS WERE EXTRAORDINARY.

Mr. Bacon and I were neighbors in Lakeland and I had the pleasure of serving with him on the Lakeland Parks and Recreation Board. His compassion and dedication to the residents, especially the children, of Lakeland will be missed. My thought and prayers are with the Bacon family.

I knew Jim in high school. He was a top quallity person, a good friend to everyone. Sincere condolences to the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with all the family. Jim is a GREAT Friend and I will miss him. I Love you all. Kelly

Cindy,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
