We are so deeply saddened to share that Mr. James B. Talley, Jr., passed away on June 9th, 2024. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, June 12th, from 12-2 at Mayes Ward Dobbins Funeral Home, 3940 Macland Road, Powder Springs, GA and the funeral will follow after the visitation. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Ramona and his three children Krista, Jimmy and Dougie.
Jim was a graduate of Presbyterian College, Clinton, South Carolina (BA History, 1970) and Walter F. George School of Law (Mercer University) (JD, 1979) where he was on the Mercer Law Review. He became a member of the Georgia Bar in 1979 and joined the firm in 1987. Among his greatest accomplishments, prior to law school, was his time in the military where he served his country as a pilot in the United States Marine Corps for six years in active duty and for 26 years in the Reserves, retiring in 2004 as Colonel James B. Talley, Jr.
During his legal career, where he focused on real estate matters and estate law, Jim was also very active in many civic and community activities in Paulding county. To name a few - he was a former Director of the Paulding County Chamber of Commerce, Chairman of the Star Student Committee, Secretary of the Board for Paulding Enterprises, Chairman of the Board of Directors for Chattahoochee Technical College, President of the Paulding County Civitan Club, member of the State Properties Commission and the Georgia Building Authority and served on the Paulding County Airport Authority.
We will certainly miss our partner, colleague and friend. Fly High Colonel - Semper Fidelis!
