My brother Jimmie, the oldest of six children, with Judy, Mabel, Donnie, Bonnie, and me being the youngest, will surely be missed. Although there was twenty years difference in our age, he was always good and kind to me. I spent many summers in Myrtle Beach with Jimmie, Mary, Jim, and David. I remember watching him patiently waiting to throw his casting net into the inlet. He always loved to fish, whether it was fresh water or salt water. We all had great times riding in his open jeep on the sand dunes, holding on for dear life but laughing the whole time. Jimmie was a Staff Sergeant in the Air Force for twenty years, learning to be a great cook. He was often in the kitchen cooking something delicious. Jimmie had a big heart, he loved his family and his many fur babies through the years. Thanks to all his friends, neighbors and everyone that spent time with him. Special Thanks to the wonderful staff at Nash General Hospital for all the care and efforts. I will miss his big hearty laugh and many life stories. God Bless Jimmie, your baby sister, Fairy Ann ❤️
