Pat and family,
I was so sorry to see that Jimmy has passed. Jimmy was a wonderful friend to my parents, Paul and Nancy Childers. I will keep you all in my prayers.

I really cannot believe Jimmy is gone. He always seemed like a personality so large, it could never be denied. Somehow or another, he will have the last word so we should all be watching and listening!
One of my fondest memories of Jimmy is from one of the family reunions at Smith Mountain Lake. We were out water-skiing and, of course, Jimmy was driving the boat. I had recently learned to slalom and was quite proud of myself. It must have showed. When it was my turn, he informed me that he WOULD find a way to dump me so I had better be ready. He let me ski for awhile, and then began a series of ever-tightening turns in a figure eight pattern, piling one boat wake upon another. I was determined to stay up, of course, and held on for awhile. Finally, he built a wave so high I must have been 10 feet off the water when I tried to jump it. Needless to say, I went down in a large pile of legs, arms and skis. When he came around to pick me up and confirmed I was okay, he had that wall-to-wall Jimmy grin on his face and said something like "told you I'd get you"! Of course, every time he related the story, he howled about how badly I had piled in. But also in that typical Jimmy fashion, he later told me he was surprised how long it took to finish me off. What a character!
Pat, we will all miss him, but I hope you and the girls will do your best to celebrate a very good man and a long life well-lived. We love you and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
