Jimmy had an honorary brother James whom he met in 1981, James was a true brother and friend to Jimmy over the years. Jimmy could call James anytime and he’d be right there for whatever Jimmy needed.

Jimmy and James loved going fishing and camping and hiking together and took and overnight fishing trip to Missouri together, and when Jimmy could no longer work on his own vehicle James worked on it for him. James would check on Jimmy often and see how he was doing.

Jimmy also had a lifelong friend Clifford who would check on him and take him to the grocery store or to pay bills and make sure he was okay.

A special thank you to James and Clifford for your generosity of time and care for our dad when we were not able to be there.
