Hi Bonnie,
I wasn't sure how to reply to your message so I am giving you my information on here. My phone number is 713-857-1564. My address is 355 Nalani St, Pukalani, HI 96768. I friend requested you on Facebook. I am so sorry for your loss, Jimmie was a great man and very loved! I never forgot the love the 2 of y'all showed me when I lived in your home.

Bonnie, I regret not making the memorial service. I don't drive inHouston much anymore and the weather was so bad, I just felt I should stay home.
I haven't heard from any of the classmates, so I don't know what plans they have. I will let you know as I find out. I would love to have met your wonderful family. You all seem to be very close. You really are blessed. Betty

I miss you, Grandpa! I share so much knowledge I learned from you with people every day! There isn't a day that goes by that I dont speak to at least one person about, you, my grandfather... whether it be a memory, moral, or lesson you taught me! I love you soo much! Im very honored to be your grand daughter, and even more so, you my grandfather!! By the way grandpa, the phone that Uncle Joe made for you is just beautiful, you would be proud! Its you! And that made me smile amidst all of the tough moments I had the day we celebrated your life!!!! Gosh, I miss you! I wish I could talk to you, even if it was just for one more minute!! Please watch over Grandma, and keep her safe!

For My Grandfather

My grandfather was a quiet man,
But his silence could speak volumes.

The warmth of his gaze said, "I love you."
The strength of his hugs said, "I will keep you safe."
The gentleness of his hands said, "You're precious to me."
His nod of approval for a job well done said, "I respect you."

In the years to come, I may not remember many of the words my grandfather spoke,
But the memories of what he conveyed without speaking a word will stay in my heart.

I love you Grandpa!!!! I miss you more than I can put into words!

I for one will always remember Jimmy as being straight forward and too speak his mind and help anyone with their Classic Cars. No one can replace this exceptional man. My prayers go out to Bonnie and family at a time of this Great loss not only to them but the Houston Area Chevrolet Club as a whole!! I will surely miss this wonderful man....
