Donna Erickson wrote a sympathy message

“Our world has lost an amazing historian. Jimmy lit up the room sharing his funny stories. I loved how he could bring you in as if you were living the experience too. I especially loved hearing the ones of him & my dad in their heyday. The way Jimmy told the story it felt like my dad was alive in that moment and that meant the world to me. As funny as this sounds, I thought Jimmy was one of the immortals. He was larger than life. My condolences to Kathy, Sean, & family. ~ donna shields”
