Nicest guy in the world. He barely knew me several years ago, stopped by the house while I was recovering from a surgery to check on me. He went out of his way to do that. Certainly didn't have to. I was in so much pain, and he was so generous with his time. For what was basically a stranger back then. Wish I would have been able to squeeze in another lunch. God bless you, Lisa.

He was a wonderful man and a friend to all who knew him. Jimbo and my husband (Raymon Hendrix) became friends when we were building our house and afterwards. After Ray passed, Jimbo would stop and talk with me if he saw me outside when he was passing by, to make sure I was doing okay. He was that kind of man, the one who cared about everyone he met. I will miss him immensely. Lisa, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Jimbo. ♥️ I’m so sorry to hear of Jimbo’s passing. He was a wonderful man and a friend to all who knew him.

He was just as equally a great friend whom will be missed by all that were lucky enough to have known him. My condolences to his family.

He was always willing to lend a helping hand and provide guidance. He was one of those few people you have a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet that you could depend on.
