    Jimmy was my neighbor for over 30 years. We couldn’t have asked for a better neighbor and friend. He was always there looking out for his neighbors. Whether it was taking your trash can from the curb and placing it back in your yard , picking up packages and mail because you were out of town, Keeping an eye out around your property while you were gone, Jimmy did it all. He was also very meticulous about his yard and it showed. He took such pride in the way it looked. I will miss seeing him in his truck and outside doing lawn work. He wasn’t a man of many words, but you knew he cared. To his family, you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
