Boots, I have so many fun memories of Jimmy,when we were pre-teen aged kids. He was my first business partner. We had a make shift candy and cool aid stand on Battle Street. I think I was 12, and he was 11. As you know by now , we never got rich. We did however have many, many, happy hours together. Ole' Beetle was a fine person, and will truly be missed.

Uncle Jimmy was not just any uncle, he was the only grandfather I knew! He was there for the birth of my two sons! And the graduation of my oldest son, Marine Corps boot camp in Parris Island, SC, where he graduated from! He is in my home and my heart everyday! Our families' hearts are broken, but we take comfort in knowing that one day we will be reunited with no pain or suffering! I love all of you and think of you everday! Your loving niece and granddaugher, Tanya!

When Jimmy arrived in Heaven, I am sure it was with a smile and that he soon had everyone laughing. He was always full of love for Aunt Boots and his family. The loss of this dear, sweet man is Heaven's gain.
