April 5, 2021 9:37 AMJimmy was one of the greatest people I ever met. When I moved to North Carolina in 2005 and started working at the library, he was always a constant happy smiling face. I considered him a friend and valued his opinion. I hope he knew how many lives he touched. I am a better person for knowing him. Thank you Jimmy.
