I did not have an opportunity to know Jimmy well, but what I knew of him I liked so much. He was such a gentle and loving personality. He always had positive things to say and a kind word for everyone. He was a great favorite with me. I wish David and I could have spent more time with him. Ronnie was so lucky to have him and he to have her. Love you Ronnie.

Dad, I still can't believe you're gone. We will carry you in our hearts always. You will be missed every single day. I thank God that he picked you to be my dad. I thank God that you are safe in his arms and not in pain. And I thank you, Dad, for being the best dad in the world. I love you.

Uncle Jimmy was one of the kindest souls ever to enter my life. Few of us have the opportunity to share our life with our true soulmate...you were one of those few, Aunt Ronnie. He will be in death as he was on earth; right by your side. I love you and I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and the family the two of you raised.

Dad, I can't believe you're gone. I miss you so much! I want to "thank you" for being such a great dad and always being there for me. Life is going to be so different without you. Please know you will always be in my heart and I will cherish all my wonderful memories of you. Rest in peace dad. I Love you!

It's hard when our family lives far away and we unintentionally missed some life events and daily conversations with our sweet dad. But, that doesn't mean dad wasn't close in our hearts. We all shared an unconditional love and we knew he was always available for us. Thank you for all the memories and especially for being such a kind, funny and loving dad. We will miss you beyond belief.
