He is also survived by his two favorite grandchildren, James Loudermilk IV and Samantha Bester, as well as his nieces Kristen Loudermilk and Lindsey Perdue (John). Jim was an avid reader and lifelong learner. He was a brilliant man and a master of public speaking. He was also humble, generous, kind, and devoted to his family.
"He was a man. Take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again" (Shakespeare, Hamlet, 1.2. 188-189).
