I was very saddened to hear of Jimmy's death. It was always nice to see him at the bank. He always had a smile and he loved talking about his family. It was a pleasure to wait on him over the years. I will miss him. I hope his family is comforted by the great joy he gave others just by being himself. He was a truely nice guy.

I used to assist him with his banking and he was always pleasant. I am sure he will be missed by a lot of people. I was truly shocked when I read this in the newspaper.

Jimmy was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. He took great pleasure in some of the simple things in life; sitting by the river fishing, watching a favorite western on tv, dancing for his friends and enjoying a home cooked with friends and family. We will miss him.

Jimmy was a kind-hearted man and always greeted folks with a smile. Our prayers are with his family as they mourn their loss. Our prayers are with his Salem Frame co-workers as they mourn the loss of a friend.
