Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. God bless his family as they mourn his passing…but may they also rejoice in the precious memories.

  2. Some of my fondest memories as a kid was being around the whole family. Papaw was wonderful with all the kids on the ball team and they loved him. He sure loved his kids and especially those grandkids…him taking them to school was great for me cause I always got to see him and get a hug. He treated me like one of his kids. He will be missed.

  3. Your kindness and warmth touched so many lives. You will be cherished and remembered . I am blessed to have known Mr Jimmy.

  4. I have known Jimmy for a long time and his late wife would keep my daughter for $15 a week plus I remember when my daughter Julie and Michelle tried to drive my VW down the street on O’Brian and I glad it was out of line and they were only 3 years old.
