I find it difficult to believe Jimmie has been gone for 7 years. I sure have missed him, his laugh, his generous spirit, and his counsel. Remembering you, Jimmie, and celebrating you in my heart. I am so thankful to have had you as my brother.

It's been many years since I last saw Jimmie, but I remember what a sweet, gentle soul he was. I think of Jimmie as a brother and will always remember him that way.

So late, but his loss deeply saddened me. He was an old soul whose kindness and intuitiveness was a gift to all who knew him. I babysat him, watched him grow up, and every once in a while when I was thinking of him he would turn up at my door. He read my mind. He always had and will have a special place in my heart. Proud to have been his step-sister.

I will remember Jimmie's smile and easy going nature. I had the pleasure of camping with Jimmie on several occasions. He was indeed the Master of Tarpology.

Want to add, love to Jimmie's cousins. Jimmie, Tony and Granger always winter camped every year. Cousins often grieve as deeply as siblings. Same for nieces and nephews. This family has strong ties there. Memories to comfort.

I was sadly shocked to hear of Jimmie's passing. He was a very good friend, a confidant and one of the most moral and intelligent people i know. I loved his sharp wit and will miss him terribly. He worshipped his mother and I give her my deepest condolences as well as his siblings. the world will be much lonlier without Jimmie around. You have my prayers.
