I am so sorry to hear about Jimmy’s passing. He was a good guy and a great friend. We enlisted in the Air Force together and at Lackland in the same squadrons and barracks.
He was a fine airman. I wish I could be there Saturday but my thoughts and prayers will be with you. Cherish your memories and you will always have Jimmy.
