I will be eternally grateful to have had
Jimmy as my friend. His great heart, hardy spirit, boyish exuberance, and easy laughter, buoyed the daily routine
of everyone around him.
Jimmy cherished his daughters and spoke of them often, with fatherly pride. My thoughts and prayers are
with Dawn,Michelle and Nicole.
Until we meet again Jim,
I love you, 'my brave forever friend'.
I bid you fair winds.

Shelly, Nicci, and Dawn my deepest sympathy is with you and the rest of the family. Shelly and I often talked about the love your father had for your mom. I'm sure he has reunited with Janet and James. Don't forget to visit the tree to add one more carving. Your dad has no more pain and can rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends Jimmy leaves behind. He was a very close and dear friend whose friendship I will treasure forever. I feel very blessed to have had the pleasure of having him as my "buddy" through the years. The photo's and memories are endless. Such a gentleman. It is very hard for me to say goodbye.
