Proud Papa Of Jaylynn and Jeffrey Jr. Along with numerous extended family and friends. Jimmy started working at a very young age to help take care of his family. He was a painter for many years but had a lot of different jobs in between. You could say he was a Jack Of All Trades. He did whatever he had to do to make sure his family was taken care of. He enjoyed the simple things in life. Whether it was having family BBQ's at his sister Evelyn's house, standing around the yard playing bottle caps, washers or horseshoes, going fishing, sitting around the kitchen table playing games (rummy, pass the trash, dominoes), Watching his western movies (can't forget about them) or simply sitting around with his nephew's Rob and Dino reminiscing about the good old days. Whatever he was doing he never took life for granted and cherished every minute of it. He will always live on in our hearts and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. A memorial service will be announced at a later date.
