I had the honor of being Jimmy's neighbor. I have never met a man with such a giving heart. He was so full of energy and was a busy body. He'd always offer to help anyone anyway that he could. We should all take notes on the way he cared about other people. My heart goes out to the family on their loss. He was truly a gift.
