I enjoyed working with Jimmy for 14 years. We would enjoy sharing our cooking with each other. Loved Jimmy's fish fry and bbq chicken. Joking with each other was always a constant. After his surgery in December he was fondly referred to as 'Jimmy nine toes' Not sure if I ever saw him laugh so hard. Mr. Bennett it was a pleasure to know you. You shall be missed. However, the things i learned from you will certainly make sure you are not forgotten. RIP my friend.
