RIP Brother
One of my favorite pictures together my graduation party. Growing up I always just called him Santa but he is my grandma Carla’s best friend and an extra grandpa to me and he always used to take me fishing when I would visit.
When I first moved to Dayton I remember how excited he was and we got together so many times to go to his favorite breakfast place the hasty tasty.
I know he made a lot of peoples life's better I know he did mine and I will always be grateful. I miss you already Santa
We were new neighbors to Jimmy having only been in our house for 2 years but every day myself, my husband, or my two children would meet in the middle of the street and talk about our day with him. He always made sure to tell me and my husband how great we were at being parents by how respectful our children were. In a short period of time, he became family and we will miss him dearly.
One of my favorite memories is when Jimmy became Santa for the kids at our family gatherings. He brought joy to so many people who crossed his path. I can't imagine the world without him. Rest in Peace, dear brother.
