I am so sorry for your loss. I met Jimmy in the 60’s in Cave City and he was funny, smart, and kind. When he went to Vietnam, I wrote letters to him and think I still have what he wrote back. We lost touch and I think I only saw him one time, years later after that. I know your family will miss him terribly.
