Jimmy and I go way back. We became good friends in the 7-8th grade as we started playing music together. As we grew, we became closer friends and shared many milestones in life together. Jimmy was exactly 53 weeks older than me, so he got his drivers license 1 year before me. Since he had the transportation, we double-dated a lot. At the time, Jimmy was dating my future wife's best friend, so it only made since that he and his friend would get their two best friends together on a "blind date". We met, dated 7 years and have now been married for 43 years. He and I traveled many hours over a period of years playing music, going to the beach, and just having good clean fun. Jimmy was a very dear and close friend and I will miss him very much. My thoughts and prayers to Geneva and Fletch during this time.
