Jimmy was a great man, a Veteran and good friend... Jimmy and Linda helped me several times without asking for anything in return... They were great friends and I always loved seeing that beautiful 1958 Impala at the cruise-ins...

While Jimmy will be sorely missed by all, there is some small comfort in the fact that he passed while doing what he loved... Driving that Classic Car to a Cruise-In with his one true love... Linda..

You will never be forgotten my friend, thank you for your friendship, your words of wisdom and your service to your county....

Rest In Peace, and look down on us from time to time from that big Cruise-In in the Sky...

June 14, 2016

My memory of Jimmy was always his devotion to Linda and their mutual love of each other and spending time together. Prayers for my Special Friend Linda as she heals and tries to pick up her life without her Jimmy. God's Love.

Jim you are in our hearts. May God bless you and rest in peace. You always looked out for Hailey and I as we traveled together whether it was Oakboro or Mocksville. You taught me the most important aspect of classic and muscle cars is not trophies, but the fellowship of friends. I enjoyed getting the best tomatoes and eggs from your farm. Linda, we love you and continue to pray for your recovery. May God wrap his loving arms around you. Christina & Hailey Masterson
