Terry did not know you but I knew both your Dad and Mom. I am Jerry Wilson's sister, Jackie Sims. I join with others in remembering your mom and Dad and how Jimmy always made you laugh. He was always good to our family and my son Mike love him. He went on the trip to Hawawai with all the gang. He wanted to tell you how sorry he was but he is on a crusie reason he will not be there with Jerry. Just wanted to let you know thinking of you and just remember how much he love you. I sure Brother will share with you a lot of stories about your mom and dad and how much we all thought of them. You are in our prayers.

When Jimmy retired from Republic I took his place, so we only worked together for a short time, but I had known him for years. He was always a blast to be around, and one of the funniest guys in our busines. He always made you laugh. He is one of the old timers that we all learned something from. I will miss him.

Jimmy was a great neighbor and a sweet man. We'll miss seeing him sitting on his front porch in the summer.
