Jimmie's sense of humor and Texas twang will always remain in my memory. He was a special part of the "Old Colchester Gang". His dedication to the neighbors and our kids showed through even little things like him being the one to man the barbecue for our summer gatherings, attending productions put on by the kids and having many kind words about us all. RIP Jimmie. You are missed.
