After Vicki died and I was really sick, he took me to Florida to visit Bill and Jackie. It was a really good visit. It was such a loving and thoughtful thing for Jim to do. There were so many times when he would be cutting my hair and we would be talking… I really miss those times, and I’ll miss him so much.

My favorite memory is him being my instructor at Nationwide beauty Academy I graduated in 2013 because of his talent and the way he taught. He was also so funny and sneaky.
Mr. Reese was one of the biggest parts of my cosmetology experience. He was the most caring , motivational , patient teacher I’ve ever had. A silly question didn’t exist with Mr. Reese he had an answer to EVERYTHING and truly cared if you understood it or not. I didn’t have the best time in school and I can honestly say he was one of the main reasons I pushed myself to graduate. I am so grateful I have many memories with him and so happy he was the one to give me my certificate. I know his family knows how special of a man he was and I’m so sorry for there loss❤️
