Sorry to hear about Jimmy. He was always a pleasure to coach with and against. He raised a great family.

With great sadness.

At true family man. He loved and cared for his wife, and his children. He was a hard worker, a great provider, and someone who lived with dignity, honor, and courage. He passed on those same honorable traits to his children. My sympathy, and respect, goes out to the family. Rest in heaven, Mr. Black.
