We knew Jimmy from our years and his years as early morning regulars at the Therapy Pool in the Aquatic Center at Bishop Park. Jimmy always brought a bright ray of sunshine with him. We were concerned when Jimmy did not show up due to one of his health challenges and rejoiced when he returned. We enjoyed his stories about deer camp and his side-by-side. Never a dull workout with Jimmy there. We learned from Jimmy what perseverance really is. Jimmy, we shall miss you!

I was so sad to hear of Jimmy's passing. He was one of the nicest men I ever met and a wonderful cousin who always had a smile and kind word for everyone. He also was wonderful to my parents and grandparents during their lifetimes. My prayers go out to Shirley, Dorothy and the entire Morgan family.

We have lost a mighty fine Christian man, a friend to all. Jimmy built our house
As inspected afterwards by his ex-father-in-law, John Ulmer, who gave it the
“Mark of excellenceâ€. Many workers for me have commented it is unusual for
Them to work on a house totally squared off perfectly.
Jimmy took great lengths in all he tackled to give it his utmost best! That also describes him and his friendship to others “THE BEST†He was unique, there will
Never be another like him. Jimmy has worked harder than most his whole
Lifetime.now, Jesus has called him to “eternal restâ€. Rest In Peace our cousin. 🥰🥰
