I have known Jimmy and Linda for many years. I will always remember Jimmy as being a caring and friendly person. I remember sitting in front of him and Linda at Shadowbrook and also on the same row at Ivy Creek. He was a very good man. I also remember when Linda asked him to deliver meals to some of the shutins at Shadowbrook. He was always at hand when we needed something in the SS class and it was so appreciated. He was a Christian man and it was proven everyday. He will be missed. He is now in Heaven celebrating and no more pain. Prayers for family.
