Jimmy loved to watch old westerns, sketch and play music. He was a wonderfully talented musician and singer.  His love of music spanned across genres and time. He enjoyed spending time with loved ones; talking about good times both old and new. He had an amazing sense of humor that he shared with those around him. He was always quick witted and ready with humorous replies or anecdotes. Jimmy's love of music, his talent and humor will forever live on in his wife, children and grandchildren. The love that this man had for his family was strong and true. The love and adoration that his family holds for him is just as steadfast. His love and memory will be carried by those who loved him everlastingly.
