Dear family of Jimmy. I remember him so well, he spent a lot of time with us, both at our home and at Curschmanns country store, many nights sleeping over. He and Chris were great pals. A WONDERFUL kid and a wonderful man. Our family will miss him. Love Marie Curschmann, or Mrs. C, as the kids called us. God bless you all.
