I met JImmie while he was a patient in White County Hospital. He was a very nice guy. I served his meals and did his menues. I tried to cheer him up while he was in the hospital. I also visited him at Oakdale nursery home. I send you all my sympathy. At least he isnt hurting any more. Yours Truly, Debra Turner

Jimmie was such a sweet man and I will miss him so much. Over the past few years we became good friends and he always made me smile, no matter what he was going through. When his health was down, he would call the bank every morning to find out his balance so we all looked forward to his call. We all loved him and will miss him.
