My thoughts and prayers are with the family, Barbara. Jimmy and I were distant cousins and it had been several years since I had seen him. He was always a quiet and dear man. I know the family will miss him...

Barbara I'm sorry for the lose you and your family have suffered. I've know Jimmy for many years he was a good hearted man. I could tell by the way he talked when we had a chance to run into each other that he loved his family. We worked together at Woodbury for many years. I'm sorry that I can't be at the services, I'm at my son's in St. Louis, he is receiving treatment for cancer and my wife and I have been taking turns staying with him during his treatments. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and the family at this time.
