Mary Emma I am very saddened to learn of your loss. Jim was a very good friend and coworker during our time together in Asheville. Brenda and I remember camping with you and Jim when your girls and our Mark were very young. Jim and I deer hunted and grouse hunted together and he was always a wealth of knowledge and fun to be with. You are definitely in our thoughts and prayers.
My heart and prayers go out to Mary Emma, Aleesa, Jamie and the family. I had the honor of working with Jim in Asheville with Farm Credit. He was fantastic to work with, a true professional, extremely intelligent and great at whatever he did. We talked about that since his mother was a Higgins, we must somehow be related. Over the years we were able to stay in touch through attending meetings and other occasions. I last talked with Jim by phone several months ago and we had a wonderful time of reminiscing and telling stories. When I retired in recent years, Jim and Mary Emma came to my retirement reception (which was truly a blessing) and Jim shared thoughts about us working together and especially one very interesting and humorous story about me. Jim was a special person and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. I believe God sends special people to enrich our lives and Jim has been one of those people.

There will never be another Jimmy Clouse. We remember when you two married and the years of love we observed. May God bless you all. Love, Bob and Peggy
Jim was such a sweet human being. I have fond memories of time spent at the Clouse home in Gainesville, Florida. His love for Mary and hs two amazing daughters was obvious. He was so kind to me, advising me about buying a house. Jim will be missed by many. My deepest condolences to Mary and his daughters.
MaryEmma and family, Pat and I are so very sorry for your loss. Jim and I were best buddies. I have many fond memories of our growing up in Mars Hill: playing poker and escaping from the Mars Hill police, and later becoming friends with them. I am very saddened by the loss of my friend. Love you all. Roy
