It was very sad for me to hear about my dear friend Jimmy passing away. I remember the long conversations and many laughs about almost any subject we could think of. He was a warm, loving man who loved his family and centered his attention on a few close friends who knew him well. He will always be remembered as a special friend.

I will always treasure cheating death with Jimmy. If it wasn't for his motorcycle driving skills we would have been just a splat on a highway. Jimmy was trying to win my approval as Deborah's boyfriend. Through the years we shared many parties, laughs, and a few tears. RIP Yumpin Yimminies
