Jimmy was an extremely hardworking, caring and always on the go kind of man. If he wasn't fishing, he was hunting or working in his garden. He loved camping and going to beach. He spent many years following the same daily routine. All starting with his routine breakfast with his best friends at Waffle House. He was an honest and hardworking man. He retired more times than anyone because he could never stay still long enough to stay retired. He would do anything for anyone. He was the most loving and thoughtful man. And in the words of his beloved daughter, "He could move mountains". And if there was a strawberry pie in sight, you best believe he was first in line or hiding it from everyone else.
