Mr. Jimmy was a veteran of the US Navy serving two tours of duty in Vietnam. After leaving the Navy he went to work as a welder in the ship yard at Gulf Port, MS. He moved to Tennessee and kept welding at Murfreesboro Tool and Engineering. The many years of hard work caused an injury to his neck which forced him to retire. He spent a lot of his free time watching action movies at home and going to the shooting range for target practice. He and Mrs. Linda had two dogs, Taz and Spanky, which they loved very much. He was a member of the Dillon Street Baptist Church.
