Hello, my name is Deb Klingel. First, my deep condolences. Jimmie is a childhood friend. He had a crush on my sister, Janice. He came over to Linconl St. all the time. We would walk or ride bikes down Marsh Rd. to the pasture where we kept our horse. We would hang out and goof around. I remember one time, Jimmie and I were trying to get Jan to ride the horse. She was afraid to. Jimmie told her if she didn't ride the horse, she would have to kiss him. We all gigled. Jan never got on and Jimmie got his kiss. They liked each other. Years later, Jimmie told me it was his first kiss. I will miss not knowing he's around. My whole family sends condolences. What I remmber most is his easy laugh. Blessings-- Deb Klingel

We will surely miss Jimmy I remember him as a child. When he would come to visit his grandparents in Red Bluff we would get together all of the cousins. He was a rock for his mother and most that were close to him. I wish I would have gotten to visit with him before his passing.
With all my love his cousin Lorna
