Such A Good Hearted Guy !
We only just met Jimmie last year through the Elks Lodge but we liked him immediately. He was always smiling and I thought he had the kindest eyes. We are so sorry for your loss, Pam and Megan.
So sorry for your loss. I remember him as always laughing. He was a great guy and I enjoyed working with him at the City.
Sending our condolences to your beautiful family as you remember his amazing life. May you have comfort in this difficult time.
To be a friend of Jimmie meant that you were going to be laughing and hearing many great stories. Jimmie never missed a chance to lend a helping hand. This included digging up plants, hanging dining room light fixtures and driving me to an MRI appointment in Houston. What a loss. Many good memories will be relived for years to come. We love you, Jimmie. Marlys and Thomas Williams
