Jimmie loved his family and loved children and loved dogs. He was particularly fond of Shih-Tzus's and if there was a movie with a dog in it you most likely would see tears in his eyes. He loved food and it is fitting that his favorite meal was ham and beans and cornbread albeit he thought you had to have cottage cheese all over it. His big smile will be missed by all.
