    We had Jimmy’s funeral services in Atmore, Al. I’m so sorry that the obit neglected to reflect that info. We took him home to rest beside our son, Michael.
    May he rest in Peace. We took him home again, and I miss him so!

    Jimmy passed away in Leesburg, fairly suddenly, for which I’m thankful,since he didn’t suffer very long, but we had him flown to Atmore, Alabama for his services
    and burial in the family cemetery. He’s at rest now, beside our son, Michael, and his loved ones who preceded him. We took him home.
