Jimmie will be missed. He never met a stranger and he would help in any way that he could. He would always drive by our house to wave at Jaila when she was small. She would come in the house and say mama Jimmie just passed by and waved at me. To the family, may our Lord and Savior wrap His loving arms around you during your time of bereavement. We will always remember Jimmie. The Joiners, Gene Jr. Venessia and Jaila
