My sympathy goes out to the family of James. He was a wonderful acquaintance whom I met at the Clarksville Country Club. He was always in good spirits and was a great person who enjoyed the game of golf. I valued his friendship. We shared a lot of experiences together over the multitude of years. I will always think of him and our friendship.

I was hired with James also back in 1981. He helped me through out my years from AO to SRO in the class room to the simulator. I never seen him after he retired, I now wished we would have kept in touch. He was a great guy and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I worked with James since we hired on in 1981 until his retirement. We spent many hours discussed critical issues of the times and refining our opinions, though they may not be the same! God Bless you James Hatman, I sure enjoyed working all those years with you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you can find comfort in the scripture found at Psalms 147:3 that says; "He is healing the broken hearted ones and is binding up their painful spots."
God is the hearer of prayer and he will comfort you in the days ahead as you remember James.

I am so sorry for your loss please accept my sincere condolences. May the God of all comfort sustain you as you await the promises found at John 5:28,29 and Rev. 21:4 where God promises to do away with all the things that cause us suffering and pain including death here on the earth forever. (Psalm 37:29) It is my sincere hope that these thoughts comfort your family at this time.
