Jimmy Ray Murdock

Him always being there for mr

I remember working with Jimmy back when he drove a hyster at Mount Vernon Mills in the opening room. We use to laugh and cut up all the time messing with Fred. He will definitely be missed.

Well some years back, 17 or 18 I think it happened that Jimmy and I had gone to the same store and we met in the parking lot and started talking. He had his hat on as usual and he told me he had done something that he wasn´t sure how his dad would react to and with that he reached up and pulled his hat off and revealed a bright purple head of hair. He asked me what I thought his daddy would say about it. I just looked at him and said son I have known your daddy all my life and don´t be surprised if after seeing it he might just dye his own hair purple to match. Such a huge smile came across his face and I will never forget thinking just how much he looked like my brother Eddie, Jimmy´s dad. I know we didn´t get to spend much time together mainly because I travel for work but I love my nephew and will miss him dearly. Rest in peace son, Uncle James...
