If you ever met Jimmy, you were surely touched by his kind, funny, sunny demeanor. He was smart in so many ways and such a loyal, devoted, hard worker. His main desire was to have a family and be loved...and it was easy to do that. To those who were closest to him and part of his life for so many years, we extend condolences for a life well-lived but ended too soon. We love you, Jimmy!

For those who didn't know Jimmy - you missed out on knowing a great guy and a wonderful human being! Jimmy was an endearing character loved by so many.
Always a jokester, he liked to laugh. He was a hard worker, dedicated to his job and the people with whom he worked. He had a sharp memory for schedules and time and could remember the smallest details about the people he cared about.
Jim lead his life with an open heart. His kid like spirit, trusting nature and innocence were among Jimmy's best qualities.
Those of us who got to know him, have him in our lives and love him as family are so very lucky and blessed!
Jimmy will always be remember and valued.
Jimmy signing off for now...
