Remembering one of our charter member Basses, Jim "Frizz" Frisbie
Jim, Jimmy, or Frizz, as he was called, was born in Winston-Salem, NC. Jim spent lots of time in Lewiston, Bertie County, NC, growing up visiting his grandparents, Ruby and Pig Joyner. He started first grade in Charlotte, NC and moved to Potomac, Maryland when he was in the eighth grade. Jim graduated from Winston Churchill High School in Potomac in 1970 and went to college at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. Jim loved NCSU and was a raving Wolfpack alumnus. He worked for the State employees Credit Union in Raleigh as a Systems Programmer.
Jim loved music! He was a charter member of The Master’s Men and also a member of the Heart of Carolina Chorus in Durham, plus singing in many other groups over the years including many years in The General Assembly Chorus in Raleigh. He continued to take voice lessons and sang at least twice a week in groups and also on Sunday mornings. His low bass voice was beautiful and well trained. Jim was a very outgoing person, always having a joke or a story to tell. He never met a stranger. He will be greatly missed! May God bless his red and white soul! |
