I can attest to the fact that Jimmy’s love of anything with a motor started at a very young age. I remember on Orchard Lane they had a go-cart in the garage that did not have a throttle cable or working brakes. Jimmy and I figured we could fix that by wiring the throttle wide open, putting my sister Connie in the seat, starting it and see what happened. It went great, up until the end of the road. That was not the last time my dear cousin and I got into a lot of trouble over the years. There were many more I won’t mention. I will never forget you cuz.

I first met Jimmy and his family in the early 70's and got invited to Lake Of The Ozarks where Moe and Shirley had a place on the lake. Jimmy and I soon became good friends and got to learn how to water ski, seems like we were there almost every weekend. Jimmy loved everything with a motor that would go fast. We used to ride motorcycles at the strip pits behind the neighborhood. He once had a Chevy Van that he put a V-8 motor in and that thing would haul. So many good memories shared with him...I will miss you Jimmy and I hope they let you drive hotrods in Heaven!

Jimmy is my cousin, we grew up together. His sister Jeanita is my ride or die cousin. We had so much fun in Cape, Columbia and Jefferson City. I will never forget your kindness and your sweet laugh. My prayers are with you, your family and friends. You will be missed.
