Jimmy was such an awesome guy. I did training with him for EMS and he was always so helpful and calm. I well remember one call when he picked me and carried me across a water-filled ditch so I wouldn't get my feet wet. I was happy to see him and give him a big hug when our church met at the fire hall a few weeks ago. He will be greatly missed by many.
