One of his greatest joys was coaching hundreds of boys in little league baseball and one season of girls' softball. He coached 21 seasons in total. He enjoyed family gatherings and seeing friends who became family. He brought the party with him with snapping fingers and loud laughter. He loved deer hunting. He was a lifelong member of the Raider Nation. He also loved playing games with his friends and family. His Moody family: the Ganns, Mouses, Turners all have stories of playing 104 with him. Late night card games or dominoes and horseshoes, croquet, and badminton were some of his favorites.

Jimmie Dewayne never met a stranger and truly loved his family. Boomer Sooner!
