Stacy - this has come as a shock to me here in New Zealand. Jimmy was a great visionary and he did make a big difference to the world around him. I'll never forget what you guys did for the Peachtree 10k Race. It was the world's premiere 10k event, and one that sits fondly in my memory from my racing days. My thoughts are with you and your family in this tough time. best wishes. Ben Lucas

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Jimmy Green 'family', both immediate family and the vast family out here in the disabled community. I once was a peer of Jimmy's but never an equal in his capacity to serve and assist others. Im blessed to have known and benefitted from the business and community he selflessly created. May his 'next road' be smooth with the wind at his back.

Stacy, Nathan, and Caitlyn.

I don't need to tell you how awesome your husband and father has been to you. But I do want to share and tell you firsthand just how special he's been to friend like me.

His guidance, mentorship, and friendship were truly meaningful and significant-for me and many others, I know.

I am shocked, and saddened.

But he's alive in us and through us, eternally.

My family's thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Be strong, like Jimmy.

Jimmy helped my son with his first handcycle 6 years ago. He has gone on to compete in several 5K handcycle events and absolutely LOVES his bike. Jimmy took the time to help us find the best bike for Eric. True customer service and a man who truly cared about his customers. The world is a better place because of him and all the lives that he touched.
