My thoughts and prayers go out to our entire, extended, immediate family for the loss of my dear Uncle Jimmy.  May his immediate family find peace and comfort in knowing how deeply he was loved by so many.   Growing up, I always enjoyed hearing my mother talk about her brothers and how they would do such daring things. Such as finding moonshiner stills in the woods in Alabama and overturning them. She told me tales of Uncle Jimmy and her brothers catching and riding wild horses in the mountains of Alabama by grabbing on to their horse tails -which was incredible to me. She also told me of how her brothers including Uncle Jimmy, of course, would hitch rides on the railroad box cars by jumping on them as they rolled down the rails. I will always remember Uncle Jimmy's smiling handsome face. He told the funniest stories and the best jokes. I loved him.  May he rest in peace, and may his family be comforted.
