Jimmy had one of the biggest loving hearts we have ever seen. He was a man who didn’t understand the meaning of the word NO, especially when it came to helping others. He was a man of few words (mostly grunts), but many laughs. His undeniable kindness, upfront, giving nature, and sense of humor will forever touch our hearts, where he will always be. To know Big Jim was to love him and WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU DAD and we look forward to the day we’re together again.
