Many say that Jimmie, for a lack of a better term was “a Jack of all trades.” He was a proficient mechanic, plumber, electrician, and carpenter and from these skills he built his home. 

His home was where his family gathered. He took great pride in all he did. He took pride in his farming and after retirement he took pride in his front yard. There he enjoyed mowing and caring for his lawn, from cook outs to the family volley ball games, they all took place in his front yard. Jimmie was quite competitive, challenging his children and grandchildren to some very heated contests.  Family was of the utmost importance to him.

The dining room table was a common gathering place for his family from lunches, holiday dinners, to the ever-exciting card game. This is where his house became a home.
