Jimmie was a truly remarkable man. He had an effect on everyone he met and he never knew a stranger. He lived the last 34 years of his life from a wheelchair yet till the very end he maintained his sense of humor, thankfulness and will to live.
We miss him now but celebrate the fact that he is now standing in the presence of our Lord.
