Jimmy gained his wings ... a very good & determined man & uncle to my children .. his nephews Byron & Jason . When teenagers he picked the boys up on many weekends with his friend Donnie & took the boys to concerts .. played pool .. great memories

Jim was a good man! Kind, funny, caring! I worked with him for about 4 years as his caregiver and he taught me so much! I left the company but still kept in touch with him every once in a while. He kept coming to my mind the week before Thanksgiving but I kept telling myself that I would call and wish him a happy Thanksgiving and play catch up with him on Thursday, and when he didn't answer I knew something wasn't right. Just to find out that this has happened. My heart breaks with this news but I'm also happy that you're not in pain anymore! I hope your watching your favorite westerns and cooking shows in heaven I hope you're at peace. I love you so much Jim and you will be missed! I'll never forget your laugh and I'll never forget the things that you have taught me about life. I love you Jim rest peacefully
