Jimmy was a hard working nice man who would do anything to help people. He did lots of projects for me over the years inside and outside. I liked him very much.

Jimmy did lots of work for us both large and small. He was a constant presence on our street doing odd jobs for most of our neighbors. No matter the day, time or weather conditions we were never surprised to see his truck and Jimmy out there doing his thing. He was a kind hard working man. We will miss our conversations. RIP Jimmy, you deserve it.

Jimmy and Stacy came to my rescue when my husband passed away. Don passed away in November and within 6 weeks ‘everything broke’. Jimmy reached out to me and said I’ll be there to take care of everything don’t worry. He and Stacy arrived a couple days later and took the weight of the repairs off my shoulders. He had a heart of gold that most people never saw. He loved his horses and stray animals. Jimmy was never too busy to help people in a problem situation even when they couldn’t pay. He will be missed by me and many others. Love you, son. Thank God you are now at peace.
