We will remember Jimmy with his smile and ” I would give you the shirt off my back.” mentality. He was such a wonderful influence on my children, Jaiden and Josie Bliss after their father, Jackie Bliss passed away. We will remember Jimmy as a great father, friend, and great human being. We love you Jimmy!!
