We thank Donald Davidson and Woody Gant for letting Brace Beagling know that Jim Tignor of Middle Tennessee passed away on Wednesday, 12/7. Jim judged alot of license trials all over the U.S. and many were with Ray Pugh. He judged the federations, was an AKC Rep and Official Measurer. Jim was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1985. Jim dedicated many hours working at Middle Tennessee Beagle Club and taking care of the grounds when he was able. As dedicated as he was to our sport; he was dedicated to his family and his wife/best friend/ love of his life, Fannie. Jim has been in a Nursing Home for a long time and gave up the fight to go home and be with his parents, siblings, and his great Love Fannie.
Thank you my friend for your guidance, life's lessons, good times and so many laughs and memories. You will live on in our hearts as we relive all the wonderful times, whether it be on the porch, around the fireplace, out in the field or chatting on a golf cart. Rest in Peace Jim as we know you are looking down on us and we cherish that smile! God Bless You, your family and friends and may we receive the love, courage, strength, wisdom, whatever is needed to get through what needs to be done to make you proud.
