Kelly and Family, Jimbo was a wonderfully kind soul who was always so excepting and loving to those around him. He treated us like family and that will be something we can't forget. I know he has touched so many hearts and his absence from this earth will be felt everyday. Our love and sympathies are with you during this time.
