“I'll always cherish my fond memories of Jimmy, from being his children's babysitter years ago, to more recently, enjoying a meal together or playing dominoes. My deepest condolences to his family; Jimmy was such a gentle, compassionate man, and a wonderful role model. He was blessed with 99 wonderful years, and never lost his humble, positive attitude. My husband and I were fortunate to have known such an exemplary human being, a true gentleman. Fondly, Nathan and Barbi Keyser Bush”
