Prayers for all of the family. Jimmy and I were on church together as youths and I enjoyed seeing him at Jacquelyns. He would nod and smile in his quiet manner. God bless you.

So sad to hear of this! We ate at Jacquelyns from the time it opened. We were sad when Jacquelyn and Jimmy sold it. Jimmy was always so nice. It amazed me how he kept up with the tables and the food orders. We will keep you in our prayers, Jacquelyn.

It was a privilege getting to grow up next door to Mr. Jimmy. I'll forever miss seeing him at Jacquelines and walking the sweet dogs he loved so much. He was a great man and the world was lucky to have him.

So sad to hear about Jimmy's passing. I had the pleasure of working with him on our senior management project at LSU-S. Ironically, it involved consulting for a local family-owned restaurant! He was so smart, kind, and talented. Rest in peace, friend!

My heart is shattered by his passing. He was a beautiful soul that was tender and kind to all. His musical talents were soothing and inspiring along with his gentle nature. I loved him dearly. I love you, Aunt Jackie. Prayers and love to you.
