Jimmie had a serious nature about him; however, he loved his family and was a wonderful provider for them. As a teenager Jimmie worked on the Lynchburg Ferry, and later went to work for the Texas Highway Department at the Baytown-LaPorte Tunnel where he had a successful forty-two-year career before retiring.

Jimmie loved spending time with his family bowling. He was an avid outdoorsman and loved opportunities to go deer hunting, duck hunting, and saltwater shrimping and fishing. Jimmie also enjoyed music and was a bass player for the Pasadena Music Club. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
