Jeff, I was so sorry to hear your dad had passed. I thought of him often and have missed those days when we would go fishing or cook Sunday dinner. Know you’re in my thoughts and prayers.
Jim, my heart is so sadden but at the same time I rejoice knowing that your are now resting in the arms of the Lord. I thank God for allowing our paths to cross over 30 years ago while working in the Houston Police Dept. – Vice Division. Rest my friend until we meet again.   ÂÂ
My thoughts and prayers are to Jeff and the Hobson Family. I was assigned to the Vice Division/Gambling Squad with Jimmy for fifteen years. Many great memories of Jimmy and good times with Jimmy. Rest in peace Jimmy.
