Jimmy was an amazing son, brother, uncle, friend, and father to many. He was a straight A student throughout school. Jimmy was a dedicated employee to Hemco Inc. for 34 years, until retirement. He enjoyed racing cars with his son, hunting and fishing, but above all spending precious time with his loving family and friends. Jimmy loved sitting outdoors and tending to his garden, with his famous tomatoes and peppers! Jimmy was a prankster and you could never expect a dull moment with him around. He was very loving, funny, and selfless man who was always willing to lend a helping hand. Jimmy will be dearly missed.
