Jimmy was/is my uncle. He was a kind, intelligent, helpful, considerate, loving uncle. He is the reason Christmas existed for myself and my brothers and sisters. He was full of love for his natural family and for the family that he married into. He taught by example of what it is like to be a clean, upstanding person. He loved his son, my first cousin, tremendously. Our Creator Father, Our Lord God shined through my Uncle Jimmy. I will always hold him in high regard. I will treasure all of his gifts to us. I will miss him. I extend my heartfealt condolences to his son, my beloved first cousin Paul David for his and our loss. I will always be greatful for all the kindness that both my Uncle Jimmy and my Aunt Corrine showed me and my family. I could not be at my uncle's services but he is in my prayers. Like I do for all my deceased and living family I ask our Most Magnificent Kind Loving Creator God our Father to be merciful with us. I am sure that my Uncle Jimmy and my Aunt Corrine are in the company of our God in His Mansion under His Loving care and protection. I humbly sign this as his loving and greatful nephew, Gilbert A. Olguin.

I was a friend of Jimmy's brother, Fidel Armijo from Ocate, NM. I lost track of his family years ago and would appreciate correspondence with family who knew Fidel. I never met Jimmy but had heard of him from Fidel. My thoughts and prayers are with all his family.
