Jimmie worked as a mail carrier for 40 years. In 1958, they moved their family to Molino and settled down in “Lackeyland”. He enjoyed planting a garden, raising cattle and selling wigglers from his “worm bed”. He loved to sit on the porch and play his harmonica with the birds. Fishing on the Escambia River was his favorite hobby. He was an active member of Aldersgate United Methodist Church. Jimmie worked hard and loved his family. He made friends with everyone. He was kind and loved to help anyone he could.

Flowers are appreciated but contributions may be made to Aldersgate United Methodist Church, 6915 North Hwy 29, Molino, FL 32577.
