To say Jimmy was a friend is to sell, who he was to so many, so so short.
I was blessed to know he counted me as his friend.
The miles and hours spent running with Jimmy were always a fun filled adventure.
Go rest high on your mountain.

My sweet Jimmy Dee the first time we met was at the Friday Night Dances at the Senior Center in Conway. You were such a great dancer. You had a great sense of humor and a smile on your face that would light up a room. Your stories will be forever remembered in my heart. We ended each dance with a I love you. So, for now my sweet Friend, I love you till we meet again.

I know Jimmy Dee when he was younger and through his business. You would instantly know his voice when he walked into a room. We enjoyed he and Pat when she was alive. He was always super nice.
He will be greatly missed.

I met Jimmy the first time on a Tuesday night dinner outing at US Pizza with Sonia, Donna , Georgetta and Bill. Jimmy all made me laugh and such a gentlemen. When my mother and I walked in he would always get up and give us big hugs. Jimmy would tell the funniest jokes. I also loved to listen when he talked about his farm animals. Jimmy was a special man. I always looked forward to our Tuesday gathering. I will miss Jimmy but will keep him in my heart remembering all the laughs we had. Jimmy enjoy your next venture and will see you again. Love Bernie
