My condolences to all the family. I had the pleasure of serving Mr Byrd at Jim’s Place Grille for the past 10 years. He would always ask for me and he was the best. I also knew him previously from the Horseshoe Casino. He will be missed .

Mr and Mrs Byrd were some of my favorite people. Met them both at my job years ago and formed a friendship I enjoyed. Mr James loved his family so so much. He always talked about his children and the wonderful trips he looked so forward to with them. He adored Mrs Shirley and made sure she was taken care of at all time, they were definitely partners in life. He will be missed! Prayers for all the family. He was a wonderful man. ðŸ™

So sorry to hear about Mr. James, he was a sweetheart. I took care of him and your mom's meds while they were our customers at Economy Drug Store. It was a pleasure dealing with them. I know you all will truly miss him. He always had a good story for me about where they had traveled.. They enjoyed life.
