My sincerest condolences to Jimmy’s family on their loss. To Mooie, I am sending big hugs as I can only imagine your heartbreak.
I grew up with Jimmy in Ashby and we were friends for over 50 years. As a matter of fact he was the first person I met when we moved there. This handsome young boy came over and introduced himself to me and from that day on we were friends. Although over the years we went in different directions with just growing up, etc.; whenever we did meet up it was like we had just seen each other the day before. I have the greatest memories of Jimmy, I will carry with me. Until we meet again my friend, RIP
I’m so sorry to hear about Jimmy’s passing. He was such an awesome guy. I first met him at my godmother’s house Bride Hillier. He was always so kind to me and I will always remember him. My prayers and thoughts are with Jimmy’s family at this time. Remember the good times and this will help through the difficult ones. Love Carolyn Snow Deleskie
So sorry to Ada for the loss of her eldest son and the McPhee family for the loss of their loved one. Thinking of you during this time of sorrow and heartbreak.
