It is hard to believe Jimmy has been gone for 12 years. He was an amazing body and coach man at Jim Coleman and we loved to share stories of the practical jokes he played on coworkers. In my first year there,He sent me to a local gas station to pickup a a bucket of steam. He got a great laugh out of that. I think of him often and he is truly missed.

It is hard to believe Jimmy been gone almost 11 years, toward the end of his career he became a Road tester. He took great pride in checking every car for deficiencies. I miss him. God Bless

Jimmy taught me the skills to become a well round mechanic at Coleman Cadillac and for that I will be forever greatful. What I will remember most about Jimmy is practical jokes. He sent new hires down the street for "buckets of steam", he nailed mechanics work boots to the floor and made stink bombs out of brake shavings that would clear the shop. He will be truely missed.

Sometimes a family needs to know that people outside of the family really care about how they are feeling when they lose someone in death. I just want to express my condolences to you for your loss. At the same time, our loving heavenly Father is the "God of all comfort" and he can and will help you through this difficult period because "he cares for you" also.
