Jimmie was my second cousin. Sorry to hear of his passing. Visited many years ago. He and his family were so welcoming and giving. My father was pretty close with him during their childhood. He was a great man.

Amy, Laura and Jeanne,
As a child growing up in the 60s, I was in awe that your dad worked at NASA. My brothers and sister were so excited when he brought us a real moon rock. It was always an exciting time when your family came to Beaumont to visit.
I´m praying that God wraps his arms around you and gives you comfort during this difficult time.
