    There was not a single person Jimmie (Mudminnow) ever met he looked upon as anything other than a friend. He had a special charm that was contagious, my life has been blessed by having him consider me one of his friends. RIP our friend, you were taken way too soon.

    More than a neighbor and fishing partner, Jimmy was my good friend. He will forever hold a place in my memories as a kind, giving, caring man that so many loved. You will be missed until we meet again in that great blue water in the sky. RIP Jimmy
