I just want to say what a wonderful man he was. His family is something he was very proud of. He has always been good to me and my family, and I will miss him dearly. Sleep well Uncle Jimmy.

Jimmy worked at Outboard Marine Corp. for a little while after Anchor Glass (where he had worked for YEARS) moved out of state. I met him while he worked at OMC and through our conversing we found out he knew my parents who had worked with him at Anchor Glass from 1970-1972 and he knew my childhood babysitter's husband, Willie Pierce, who also had worked at Anchor Glass.Anyways, Jimmy would always make a point to stop by my work station and talk to me and I always was able to make him smile as he would me. He was a kind soul. You know he was special because here I am in 2021 looking him up online and finding out he passed in 2006, which I didn't know until today. He was a great guy and I shed tears today finding out he had passed. Rest in peace, Jimmy. I hope I get to see you in the afterlife someday buddy. Jimmy's friend, Jason Kelley
