I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to Jimmy's family. He was a great man. I worked with Jimmy at BellSouth. You could always count on him for a good laugh and to always get the job done right. He was always the one I called when no one else could figure out the problem. He was loved by his customers as well as his co-workers. Jimmy will be greatly missed by all of his friends at BellSouth.

Jimmy will always be in our memories, he was the kind of person that touched your life just because you knew him, there was never any doubt if he was close by, you knew. We know that he is with God now and that someday we hope to see him again. Our thoughts and prayers are with each member of the family as they move forward in life without a husband, brother, father, step-father or grandfather. Roger & Sharon Simpson

Jimmy was a good friend and devoted most of his life to helping others who were less fortunate than himself. He will be deeply missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. To his wife and family, you will miss him most of all but you can take solitude that he is in a far better place than the world in which we live.
