To the family of Jimmy Guild,
We are so sorry to learn of Jimmy's passing. My husband was born and raised in Studley. Jimmy talked him into joinning the Navy Reserves when he was still in Lee-Davis. Our thoughts and prayers go out to each of you. He was a super person.

Jimmy was like a big brother to me.
For a time we both lived at Dabneys and shared farm chores. I have fond memories of riding the combine while Jimmy drove the tractor.
