Jim Proctor coached us in semi-pro football in Tulsa. Not many people outside the team knew that Tulsa even had a team. But Jim worked hard every year giving people like me a team to play On. Thanks Jim, You'll be Missed! Go Stampede!

Jim was one of my middle school basketball coaches and I have lots of good memories of him coaching our team. Another one of my team mates and I shared different memories with each other tonight as I ran across his obituary in the paper and called to tell her of his passing. I only regret not being able to attend his funeral because I saw it too late in the paper. I now am old enough to appreciate his time and effort in trying to make a difference in our lives and am thankful I had the opportunity to play for him on the team he coached. He will be missed by lots of people as he touched so many lives in the Tulsa area. He truly was passionate about sports, and shared his love of sports by coaching. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family in this difficult time. Sincerely, Peggy Woods Pearman Clinton Middle School basketball team around 1982
