Jimmy had an entrepreneurial spirit, owning many small businesses throughout his life. He and his wife, Angie, had a love for animals and enjoyed attending and showing their prize-winning cats throughout the country. During his last years of life, Jimmy enjoyed his meals at Big Ed’s North, spending time with his sister and extended family, and calling family and friends each day to bring a little joy into their lives.
