From spending time on the lake as a kid at "Jimmy's Cove" to dancing with him at my wedding I have many good memories that include your Dad. He always had such a big heart and loved you both so much. We will miss him.
Our deepest sympathies go out to you. You are in our prayers.

As evidenced by the other entries here, so many of us remember the good times with Jimmy, always the life of the party! Jimmy was one of the first "Fountain City" people I met while attending UT. I was 19 & he was 18. There were many good times. He had an infectious laugh and loved to dance...especially to James Brown. We love you Jimmy.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

I met Jimmy about 9 years ago, but I got to know him about a year ago. I found out that we had a few things in common. We both liked golf, listening to music, dancing, telling jokes, drinking, and hanging out with our friends. I will miss him and I know his many friends will too.

I want to thank you again from the bottom of my heart for the "come to Jesus meeting" that I have endured in the past couple of days. It was long overdue...

See you on the other side my dear friend...

For years beyond his kin,
The light he leaves behind him shines
Along the path of men."
