I'm just seeing that Jimmy passed away. I will keep you all in my prayers. He was a joy to see every morning as I made my way into the School of Architecture at HU from 1995-2000. Thank you for sharing with our community such a wonderful person. The generations behind us will miss a big part of HU history.

Mr. Jimmy, thank you for taking such great care of me, while I was a student at Howard. I remember so many days pressing up the hill to get something good off of your truck. I know God is taking great care of you, just the way you did all of us.

He's one of the shoulders that lifted me to where I am today. It's not only the professors that you remember from college days. My condolences to the family and thank you for sharing him with countless Howard University students.

I am just seeing this! My husband of almost 22 years and I met at the hot dog truck and got married 4 years after graduation in 1986! I work at Howard and visited his truck until he recently retired! He met our kids too! He was such an encourager and coming to his truck for coffee, or a hot chocolate after exams and chatting with him and my future hubby was just the perfect stress buster! I know he kept many a student going during his 37+ years at Howard. My heart aches for his family and my heartfelt prayers go out you! Thank you for sharing him with us!!

I'm part of the the old Howard crowd from back in the 80's. He was the same back then to all of us, as he has been to the younger generation of Howard University. Always the smile. He was truly a tremendous part of the Howard Community. Sweet Dreams my Dear Friend.

Every student that you encountered you treated like they were your own child. You will be missed Jimmy. You made my time at Howard more enjoyable especially since I am not a morning person.
