Jimmy exudes happiness, generosity, kindness, and love to all who knew him. He wants you to laugh, cook and eat jambalaya, take your children fishing, drink a cup of coffee in the duck blind, love your family with vigor, grab life with a tight grip and to pray with gratitude every day. This is his legacy! He is now with his savior, his Daddy and Uncle’s Frank and Charlie and let’s be assured that all in heaven are celebrating his arrival.
