To Jimmy's precious family and loving wife Judy I send my condolences. He was such a great guy, so loving and caring of others. He and Judy was so good to my parents that lived in Wilson. They both kept an eye out for anything they could do to help out my ageing parents. Jimmy could also give a really mean flattop.He's certainly gonna be missed by all.
