He also served in the Army at West Point during the 1950's as an instructor. After retirement, Jimmy & his wife, Lucy, bought and remodeled over 30 houses. They were the original "Fixer Uppers". Jimmy loved to work in his yard and took great pride in making it look beautiful. Jimmy accepted the LORD as his Savior on March 3, 2008 and was baptized the same day. He was active in his church and had a heart for service. He would readily help those in need. He had the gift of gab and never met a stranger. Jimmy counted his family as his greatest blessing.
