James “Jim” Kidd
July 28, 1921 – August 24, 2003

“When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into
a better language, and every chapter must be so translated” From “Devotions upon
Emergent Occasions “ John Donne

   Today, Jim Kidd begins a new chapter, it is too soon to translate his life
and death into words of comfort or understanding.  But this we know: his
lifetime is not to be measured by lists of his accomplishment and memberships. 
Though proud of these, it is his wish that we celebrate and remember him for his
loyalty, sincerity, and dedication to his family and many friends.  He is to be
remembered fro the glasses and laughter he raised – and above all the love and
understanding he gave.
   James “Jim” Kidd, 82, of Monroe died on August 24, 2003.  He was born July
28, 1921 to the late Claude Kid and Maude Fleeman Kidd.
   Surviving are: Wife; Nancy Goolsby Kidd of Monroe; Son; Stephen Osborne of
Plant City, FL; Sister and Brothers in Law; Margaret and Gray Taylor of Wilson,
NC, Eugene Goolsby of Reidville, NC; Nephews and Nieces; Eddie Taylor, Don
Taylor, Paula Goolsby Taylor, Ellen Goolsby Sparrow, David Goolsby, and Marianne
Goolsby.
   Funeral Services will be held on Friday August 29th at 2:00 p.m. at the
Chapel of Meadows Funeral Home with Father Daniel Toof officiating.  Interment
will follow at Hill Haven Cemetery.
   The Excellence of a life is measured only by the number of hearts that ache
when we absent the earth.  By this measure Jim Kidd is without equal.  Godspeed
Jim, well done.
