Lifelong family friend and protector. I remember him sitting on our porch waiting for us to finish dinner so he could ride to the Koury League baseball games, Dad was his coach. Many more memories over many years. Sorry for your loss.

To the Hensley Family:
I was saddened to read of the passing away of Jim Bob. I have know Jim Bob since we were young teenagers in Fairview Heights, and He and I were members of the Crusaders Drum Corp in the 1960’s. Jim Bob was truly a unique person, and, if you met him you could never forget him! Jim Bob will be missed. My condolences to the Hensley Family!!!
