Jimmy was an animal lover of all his beloved dogs. Especially his weiner dogs had a special place in his heart. Jim was a logger professionally most of his life and logged from one end of the island to the other. Jimmy was a kind and caring man that would do anything for anyone and was a fiercely loyal friend. Jimmy lived life to the fullest, pedal to the metal and did exactly what he wanted. Jim grew up on the island in Cumberland and area. He was a proud island boy where he cherished his many friends and family there. Jim and all his great stories, jokes and adventures will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. "Just like Jimmy" he has finally found the best fishing hole there is! Rest in peace Jimmy! You will always be loved and remembered.

A celebration of life will be held for Jim on Friday, July 16th at 1:00 PM at the Cumberland legion.
