So sorry to hear about Jimmy's passing. He seemed like a very sweet child growing up. My Grandfather James Alexander Parks and Jimmy's Grandfather Henry Parks were brothers. I never saw him after he was grown. I am sure he will be missed.

I pray for peace for the Felts family during this difficult time. I will never forget Mr Felts and the grand opening of Front Page at the original location. He was a class act!
