My prayers to Jimmy's family. I knew Jimmy most of my life, he was Martha's big brother. He was a great guy and will be missed by his family and friends.

I used to deliver the Palm Beach Times, the afternnon paper, to the Holman home near the olde Cities Service gas station, which was right next to the picture show.
Jim would be there sometimes to greet me as I got off my bike to take the paper upstairs so the older folks would not have to walk down the stairs.
I remember another tyme on top of the dike when he gave me a ride on his motor scooter, his Honda 50.
Not having laid eyes on him since then, I can only say what I knew about him way back then. He was always nice to me and friendly. Quite a thing for a young boy getting from a mighty high school senior.
Rest In Peace, Jim.

We had so many adventures over at the lake, chuch, school and home. I'll always remember the big brother you were to me. You're so busy being welcomed by family & friends that have gone before us. We'll see you on the other side! Yesterday, there were so many to celebrate the person that we knew, you were there in spirit celebrating with us. Pam, Michelle, Mike & Mother; you're all in our prayers.

Jimmy and I grew up together in Pahokee Florida.
He was a great guy to be around and we had some fun times together. I can remember him and I going to the Races at Serbring together and having wonderful times. He will be missed.

There are no words to explain how much dad meant to me.
My only comfort is that we'll be together again someday.
