WOW!

That is really hard to believe. I just saw Jimmy that week before. He came down and helped me out with some work on my house just a month ago. We go back about 20 years, and Jimmy worked for me for a few years back in the beginning of our friendship. I got to know his Dad, and his brothers Charlie, Bob, and Mike. Jimmy and I had kept in touch and helped each other out on different jobs over the years.

He truly was a real good guy.

You fought a lot of battles, but you won the war--your children, family, and friends loved you. Thank you for making me laugh (at your often inappropriate but well-timed humor), and for introducing me to Stevie Nicks many moons ago. The world is a little darker without you in it, but I know you're watching over your boys and the rest of us, free from pain. Rest easy, my friend.

Jane Hodges

I'm sad to hear of his passing. I am sad his children have lost their Daddy. I could tell he loved his boys so much. We had many conversations while caring for our own parents and how hard it is to be a caretaker. But it shows the heart he had. Peace to his family. ☮

Jimmy and I had many Facebook conversations about many different things. And even though they weren't face-to-face conversations,I could sense the passion to feel better, do better, and be better. I am saddened by the fact that he won't be here for all of us to see what he would have done next. I hold him, his family, and many friends in my thoughts and prayers. May we not forget Jimmy. May we make sure that we remind his children lest that not forget their father. God speed.

Kathleen Roberts

I remember Jimmy as the quiet one. I became friends with him within the last year through Facebook. He was ill at the time, and I could relate. We laughed over how it sucks to get older. We shared joy at how confident Jennifer has become. I know he has a better life in heaven. He will be missed here.
