Jimmy welcome me with open arms when I married his sister. We went few times fishing together, and taught me how to catch flounder. He certainly loved his mom and sisters. I will miss him. Claude

Uncle Jimmy was one of a kind. I remember my mom telling me what a great athlete he was in high school and how he even earned a black belt in karate. Later, he found his calling working at a wildlife refuge. How was a kid then and thought how cool it was that he worked at a place with lots of alligators. He loved deer hunting and even made videos about it. I had the chance to do some odd jobs with him-raking leaves, painting-and he taught me a lot through those times together. He enjoyed a good joke and always with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. He will be missed.
