Belmont, NC
Jim was employed by Carolina Freight Carriers for 22 years. He went on to work for Preston Trucking as well as National Gypsum, where he retired in 2016. His work ethic was second to none. The many employees "worked with him" and not "for him," as he often told his family.
Survivors include his beloved wife of 54 years, Jane Adelaide Cashion Stallings; his children, Caroline Wells (Barry) Sheppard, Katherine Hunter (John, Jr.) Hutchinson and James Robert "Bob" (Allison) Stallings. "Bo" is also survived by his five precious grandchildren, Grace Burke and Lillian Wells Sheppard, Adelaide Wells, John Guiher, III, and Julia Rose Hutchinson, as well as siblings Helen Stallings Moore and Charles Thomas (Lynnette) Stallings, nephew Charles "Charlie" Thomas Stallings and niece Elizabeth LaMaster (Marshall) Moore, many cousins and lifelong friends.
A special thanks to our wonderful caregivers from Kindred at Home, Right at Home and Hospice of Gaston County.
