Susie, Several weeks ago I had the opportunity to play golf at the country club in Big Spring. I thought about Jimmy and all the others that played in the "rabbit drives" every Saturday and Sunday. The many weekends we spent touring the barbecue circuit during the summer . He was a good man and good friend. He will be missed by many. Lots of thoughts and prayers for you and your family. Bobby and Jill

I just found out about Jimmy's passing. What a loss. I have known Jimmy and Susie for way too many years, back to the refinery days and hitting old beat up golf balls at the Muny and Country Club. Jimmy and Susie were an ideal couple who everyone thought so much of. Jimmy was truly a gentleman's gentleman. Always friendly, smiling and happy. He will truly be missed by all that knew him. Susie I grieve with you but just know he is in a much better place and already has a tee time for tomorrow in heaven. May God speed friend.
