Still missing you cousin wish I could hear your laugh one more time .Star

Jimmy was a great example of someone who was passionate about life, and enjoyed life in his own way!   He was one who was gonna do it his way!  He was so blessed with his boys and grandchildren !  He was so proud of them all, and always talked about them! He was a great co-worker and friend!  He helped many many times!  I am so grateful and thankful to have known him! He will be missed!

I started working with Jimmy in 1978 in Green Hills. He was 23. I was 20. We were sooo young! He was a hard worker. And oh so fun. Everyone loved Jimmy! Worked with him at other stores over the years! I loved to hear the stories he told about “his boys”!  Y’all were ALWAYS  the light of his life! I saw him at Walgreens in Smyrna after he retired. We laughed, cried and hugged talking about life and how long we had  known each other! We lost a very special person and Heaven gained a very special Angel.  May he Rest In Peace. 


My first true love and I've missed you more than anyone would ever know. R.I.P. my forever friend.

I will truly miss my friend. I worked  with him in two stores and each store was a adventure. He always had my back. Once I retired and would see him he would always tell me that I made the right decision. The last time I seen him he gave me a hug. I will always treasure that moment 💔

Jimmy and I worked together several times during our careers at Kroger. If Jimmy was on the team then you knew it was going to be a success. Our last time working together was at veterans parkway when it opened as a new store. Jimmy was a huge part of a successful opening and he made it look easy. Everyone in the store looked up to Jimmy including me. What a great guy, friend, parent and grandparent. We'll miss you JJ. 

Our Father was a great hard working man. Strong and tough as nails. But also had a sweet, caring and loving side. He touched many lives.  

We love you dad!

To all of Jimmy's family ...his passing has left a void nobody can fill only fond memories. His smile and joking manner will forever be ingrained into all who ever met him. His lasting legacy in his children and grandchildren will forever shine on. Goodbye Jimmy till we meet again friend.....
