Ava and Jodie,
My friendship with Jimmy goes back to our days in the Boy Scouts under the supervision of Dick Hay. I became good friends with Jimmy and had many good times in the basement of your house playing pool and listening to your parents high fidelity stereo system. I even survived riding in your grandmothers Tornado while she drove 90+ MPH to basketball games in Billings! He was a good friend to me during those years and I remember him fondly.
Dave Schott says
I grew up living in a house just across the alley from Jimmy. He was quite a bit older than me, but we visited from time to time. I’m sad to learn he is no longer with us. May he rest in peace. My sympathy to his family.
