Not sure what to say?

Jimmy was always a joy to be around. I will, and have always cherished our conversations,laughs,and hugs that I was so lucky to have. I am thinking of you all, his family and friends, and am so sorry from the bottom of my heart. Love and healing to you.

Carolyn and family,
So very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Steve and I had known Jimmy since the 70's, mostly from the Moose. What a crazy and funny guy. He swore like a trooper but that was Jimmy. He was so hilarious. We are going to miss him and his red pick up truck at our carwash. What a great guy he was. Now he and Rex can catch up. Just know he's looking back down on the family with a smile and he will always be close to you in your heart.
Our sincerest sympathies to you...
