Jimmy was a good man that I really enjoyed spending time with. He was a joy to be with and had been my dad since the passing of my father. He was a giving person that I will miss very much and he can't be replaced. I hope he knew how much he meant to everyone.

Jimmy you will be missed by your neighbors. And particularly by the two dogs that live next door and know you as "Uncle Jimmy".

We will miss Mr Mathews. The trucking world is at a true loss for he was a real road king. I enjoyed our conversations together and his neat stories of his travels. May he rest in peace. God bless the family and you have our prayers.
