I had recently "met" Jimmy through email and 1 phone call over a couple of weeks as he worked diligently to find our company the best quote. His personality, care, and commitment are shown through even in the typed word. If he could make that impact on me, I cannot imagine the loss of those close to him. My sincere sympathies. It was my honor to interact with such a good man.
