I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Caviness passing. He was a member of my church and was always joking with me and everyone he came in contact with. He will be missed. Praying peace and strength for the family during this difficult time.

We knew James for several years. He was a very close friend. He liked to joke with everyone he knew. He would call us almost on a daily basis. He was also an avid bowler and everyone at the bowling alley knew him. Every time you would ask anyone if they knew him ; they would say yes I know him. He will truly be missed and we will think about him often and miss his phone calls and him always joking. He is gone but will never be forgotten. Family we want to offer you our condolences but we know God knows best. Keep the Faith and keep your hands in God's hands. Love you, Carol and Jerry Cobb
