VALENTI Jr, James V., 74, entered into rest January 19, 2017. Jimmy was born and raised in Palmetto Beach. He was employed by Hillsborough County Fleet Maintenance for 35 years. He was Merle Haggard’s biggest fan and loved his red & white 1955 Crown Victoria, Miss Vicky. He was a people person and loved talking to any person he saw. Jimmy will surely be missed by so many and Hillsborough County will not be the same without him.
He is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Sue Ann; daughters, Lee Ann Anderson (Brian) and Lisa Bobo (Marvin); grandchildren, Elja, Selenah, Austin, Aiden; fur granddogs, King and Queen; sister, Marian Esser; awesome in-laws; nieces and nephews; and the most amazing friends.
A memorial service will be held 10 a.m. Monday, January 23, 2017 at Bell Shoals Baptist Church – Palm River Campus, 5415 Palm River Road, Tampa, FL 33619. (813) 621-2058. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and support.
