Jimmy was preceded in death by his mother, Ruth, and his father, George, who both instilled in him the values of hard work, compassion, and integrity.

As we remember Jimmy, let us hold tightly to the memories of his laughter, his wisdom, and the way he could light up a room. He may be gone, but his spirit will forever live on in our hearts.
