I was sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. We grew up together on Country Club Drive in Perry. He always brought me Valentine's candy as a child! I remember his athletic ability in track and his playing of drums in the band. Another of the Class of 1968 is gone, but not forgotten. Condolences to his family.
