He did not wish to have any services, but a celebration of life will be held on July 22, 2023.
I’m gonna miss your smart mouth at the office. Never a dull moment with Jimmy. Comes through the door yelling out “hey ugly” just as loud as can be in front of all of the other patients just for me to say back “hey you ornery old coot” . Him stating ” I’d sure like to put my foot up her “beep” on the way out the door. Always making me laugh. He drove me crazy (but in a good way). My deepest and most sincere condolences to Jimmy’s family. I know the very end was tough and I hope you each find peace knowing that he is finally at peace.
So sorry to hear about the passing of Jimmy. He was my cousin and sadly I have not seen him since we were little kids. His mother and my mother Ruth Simpson Smith were sisters. I recently lost my husband and know what you and your family are going through. Keeping you all in my prayers.
Hello Barbara. I am Jimmy’s daughter Becky. If possible and ok with you I’d like to speak to you and my dads baby brother Donnie would like to also get in touch with you.
