Love and prayers.
You will be greatly missed by many. I remember you as a great person, an honest man. I didn't know you on a personal level just in business. I only knew Charles on a more personal level. Prayers to all the family in the coming days.
Jimmy was my first cousin and a few years younger. His father, Uncle Calvin was a brother to my mother, Lula Bell Stanton Jones. I don’t recall being around Jimmy, but I have met his sister Carolyn once or twice. Thank the Lord Jimmy survived the awful accident that took his dad’s life, and has been blessed with a very large family! I’m sorry for your loss and pray God’s comfort for you all!
Our family sends our condolences to u and your family in this difficult time .prayers for you and family
I loved Jimmy so much and will miss us talking on the phone. My prayers will go up daily for his family.
