One year has gone by and you are still missed like it was yesterday R.I.P.

You are missed very much. I will never forget how much you loved my Grandson Vincent.

Jimmy was one of the first people I met when I moved to Las Vegas.  He helped me with the start of my business in 2006.  He introduced me to so many great people in the city and made sure I was doing okay.  I will never forget his kindness and his smile.  Thank you for everything you've done for me, rest in peace.

Hey Cuz, I think of you often and I miss you.

We just found out about Jimmy today and are heartbroken.  He coached our son Cole's soccer team many years ago and we remember him fondly.

just a real stand up guy. I met jimmy at the HRH and immediately he got me whatever i needed whenever i needed it. Heading back to the palms in May 2013 and only finding out that he died in Dec was rattling. He will be missed.

I will do everything I can to honor your memory

Aunt Eleanor and family,
How saddened we are to hear of Jimmy's passing.  Jimmy was the best, always a smile and kind words to share.  This summer's Cousins Reunion was the best. I will always remember him that way---laughing, sharing stories, loving life.  May the memories of his wonderful life comfort you all in the days to come.  All my love,
Jeanne (DeCesare) Laeng and family
Rich, Ricky, J.J. and Cara

Dear Aunt Eleanor and Family, 
We only just heard today (Jan. 3, '13) the sad news of Jimmy's passing; and we can't begin to tell you how very sorry we are. Jimmy was truly one of the most friendly, most generous, most funny, and friendliest cousins in our DiBiase family. 
May He Now Rest In God's Perfect Peace. Our deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. 
Love, Cousins Bobby DeCesare, Jeanne Laeng, Joanne Slanchik, & families.

To the Tipton Family, I am sure you already know but Jimmy was a great guy. Always fun to be around. Created laughter with whoevr he was with.

My sincere & deepest sympathy to you. God Bless you Jimmy Boy....

Deepest symapthy to the Tipton family,
have not talk to Jimmy for a number of years, but he was one of my first friends when I moved to Las Vegas in 1972, we broke in at the El Cortez together, we called him " The Sheik". I will never forget you Jimmy.

Jimmy, 
I am so sad to here this. I have known you for over a decade. You were my host & friend. I followed you from Hard Rock to the Palms. I remembered all of your fun birthdays and all the great times. God asked for you too early. My condolences to your family and the Palms Casino family. Your are an angel now. RIP Jimmy, we will meet again! Love you!

You were a great mentor and friend.  You will always hold a special place in my heart ~ Susan

Jimmy - you were a class act, a gentleman, and many hospitality folks could have taken lessons from you. I'll never forget you and the times we worked together at the HRH. You were the true original ...loved your "Jimmy Jam"! May you rest in peace.

Jimmy So glad I got to see you last week. You will be missed my friend. Rest in peace in heaven

Jimmy Tipton - one of the most kind, generous, and "true blue" men I have ever known. For those who knew him, knew you could always count on him to be there, and to "do the right thing". Jimmy lived a full and adventurous life, but what mattered most to him was family, and his close friends. Let him be an example to all who knew him and keep his amazing spirit strong in his memory. Love deeply and laugh a lot, he would want that. With love, and my deepest condolences to Mrs. Tipton, Sheli, Hollie, Michael, Ryan, Denise, and your families.

Grandpa, I'm so sorry I can't make it to your funeral. I love you so much and I will always remember everything you taught me. I miss you so much and love you endlessly. You meant everything to me and I know you had nothing but love in your heart for everyone in your amazing life and travels. I'm naming my son after you when the time is right to have kids. I'll always do what you told me, love how you showed me, and live with a zest for life, the kind only you could share. I love you, Grandpa. Please rest in peace and I'll catch you later. Love, your Puppy Girl, Hollie Jade Stephenson

Uncle Jimmy, no words can express the pain I feel in my heart for the loss of your physical being. All I can say is dad just received the best Christmas present, give him hugs for me...

Tip, we were like brothers rather than cousins. I'll always remember the good times we had growing up as kids. We would deliver newspapers, shovel snow and laugh the whole time. Hell, there were times we would laugh so hard our own parents would have to seperate us. Tip, I'm going to miss you "My Brother". Thanks for the memories, I'll carry you in my heart everyday.

sheli  so sorry you lost your dad so soon
melissa and I would love to see you

Jimmy will be remembered by many people as a stand up guy who loved his work. I remember working at Nob Hill Casino where he was casino manager in the late 80's. After Nob hill, while working in local bars, I would often hear Jimmy mentioned by patrons as he continued his work promoting and building up Las Vegas. My sympathy to his family and loved ones. May he rest in peace.

I knew jimmy since 1973 
he will be missed

To the Tipton Family, You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
It was a great shock to hear about Jimmy that I am at a loss for adequate words to express my sadness. Jimmy was aâ€ Prince of a Manâ€ who left us too soon.  I am so blessed to have known Jimmy throughout my life for we were classmates at St. Anthony's and  graduated CCHS Class of 67. I will always remember his kindness, thoughtfulness and most of all his trust in God therefore Jimmy will continue to live on in our hearts and in our minds.

jimmy was a great person who knew how to have fun and one of the best hosts that we ever had at the palms. The belldesk staff will miss him.

My Dear Sweet Sheli and family, knowing Jimmy for the past 28 years was truly a pleasure.  He will remain in my heart always, he was one of the Greatest!

Rest in peace Jimmy Tipton. You were a great influence on me and I am sure many in the casino business. Say hello to Tony. My prayers are with you and your family.

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

Jimmy, I will never forget you and I will always be thankful for god bringing me into your life. You were a great friend, mentor, boss and even a better person. May you now rest peacefully and enjoy all that surrounds you. Have a patron or two.....and relax in the surley bounds of heaven and enjoy.

STICK   To  the Jimmy u r missed and will never be forgotten by our family I and this town will never be the same I  will miss u 4-ever. Your favorite cuz.   MIKE STICK DI CESARE.        RIP   JT

Jimmy you knew my dad and then I took over in his place. You were one on the pioneer's in the industry. You will be greatly missed by all.  There will never be one like you again. You are probably already doing marketing with the old ones. God Bless You
Michael Goldstein, Calabasas, Calif

I was so saddened to hear of Jimmy's passing. It doesn't matter that we are so far apart and haven't see or talked for quite awhile, family is family. You have my deepest sympathy.

Jimmy you will be missed by many but remembered by many more!   I am better because we are family.

Jimmy you will be long remembered and missed by many people.  I would tell you to rest in peace but they probably already have you meeting people at the Pearly Gates. Do what you do best. You will also be a hit in Heaven.

Jimmy was one of a kind.  I had the pleasure of working with him and knowing him and his family for many years.  I couldn't have asked for a better boss.  You can't work in the Casino business and not know or know of Jimmy.  He was legendary and so well respected.  He worked hard, played even harder, loved his family and friends and was the most caring and kind hearted person I know.  His passing will leave a major void in so many of our lives. He may have passed from this earth but we all have so many fond memories of him that he will never be forgotten.  R.I.P Jimmy
