Jimmy was a supportive mentor, a loving father, and a loyal friend. He was passionate about restoring old vehicles and skilled at bringing new life to something old and rusty. He collected photos of family, vacations and special events that captured precious memories. He was a motorcycle enthusiast; he loved riding and attending Bike Shows. As we say our final goodbyes to Jimmy, remember the love, laughter, and lessons he brought into our lives, and find comfort in knowing that his spirit will live on in the memories and hearts of all those who loved him.
