Jim had a special dance that I aptly named the Jimmy dance. Think Elaine on Seinfeld only male and funnier. He would manage to pull it out at the most inappropriate time. On Police calls in uniform was a favorite. I would be riding along with him (our favorite pass time) we would be going somewhere and he would hear music and start doing it. I would be trying to be straight faced and just bust out laughing. So funny, I never thought that the times working with him were going to be the most enjoyable of my career we made no money. But work has never been so much fun. <BR/><BR/>I have told a few people of his antics with changing song lyrics. If you listened to the radio with him he would sing along and change the words. His absolute favorite to change was "Just a gigilo" which he changed to just a Jimmy Lowe and various other goofy changes. He is the reason I learned to play the guitar. First song he taught me was the outfield "I don't want to lose your love". Music will be changed without him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110521066776783496.post-29331195218268607382008-02-06T02:47:00.000-08:002008-02-06T02:47:00.000-08:00JJ (the nickname I called him by ),would occasiona...JJ (the nickname I called him by ),<BR/>would occasionally buy an El Mate from College Coffee Shop.One particular evening he was talking to one of the homeless folk just outside the door. I heard him on his radio say, J.C. He knew me well enough to know I believed in Jesus Christ, and the homeless guy was always preaching bible verses. JJ then looked at me and said, John something is the mans name.<BR/>Next thing I know JJ is delivering mail to JC that was kept at the police station. <BR/>Another time I saw JJ joking around with another homeless man, one that many rejected. But JJ ALWAYS shown compassion and kindness to this man. <BR/>This was when I realized,JJ is a gem of a man. <BR/><BR/>Another time JJ was on duty, and my vehicle would not start. I asked for help.He arrived immediately and jumped started my vehicle for me.<BR/><BR/>Everyone at the College Coffee Shop<BR/>loved to see JJ he was so funny and so helpful.<BR/>I told him one day that he has such a good heart.<BR/>He replied...<BR/>Even in high school I have always had feelings for others that were disabled in some way.<BR/><BR/>I am so shocked and so very sad and so sorry that he was taken from us so soon. <BR/>CarolynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110521066776783496.post-68978464902642070742008-01-31T23:31:00.000-08:002008-01-31T23:31:00.000-08:00I didn't meet many of Jimmy's close friends, but h...I didn't meet many of Jimmy's close friends, but he is a man very dear to my heart. It was about three or four years ago that I met Jimmy. I was hanging out at one of the bars in town and I had witnessed a girl get hit over the head with a beer bottle. Jimmy was on duty at the time and he came into the bar and asked the bouncer what had happened. The bouncer directed Jimmy my way and said ask her, she would be able to better explain what happened. I went outside to give my statement to Jimmy and when we were done he invited me to his birthday party that was two weeks away. Since that first night, Jimmy was always there for me and helped me through a lot. We hung out quite a bit and always did kareoke together at either the Greyhound or the Spur. When Jimmy moved to TX last year, I lost contact with him until he was up here for Thanksgiving. We got to hang out together one night before he went home and that last night we hung out together will be a night that I will remember ALWAYS. Jimmy had an extremly big heart and was always there for his friends. With his positive attitude, and wonderful sense of humor, he could turn any frown upside down. Jimmy touched the lives of me and many of our mutual friends. I will be forever greatful that I had the opportunity to have known him. A man that I can call a true friend. Jimmy you are loved and missed. I will see you again one day when I get to Heaven.<BR/><BR/>~HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110521066776783496.post-89024842809243082632008-01-27T19:32:00.000-08:002008-01-27T19:32:00.000-08:00I have so many memories of this amazing man.

We have had many camping trips together and he loved scaring me to death in the tent.I hate bugs and should never have told him that. He would lie about one being on me just to hear me scream. And we all know that laugh of his. I attended his wedding to Michelle. He was a proud man. Michelle my bell he would sing. He was really broken up when Zeke bit him on the lip. He called me in shock. We have laughed and cried together. He attended my daughters graduation and loved her like a sister. He has always been there for us when we needed him. How can we put a lifetime of memories in such a small space. The only real things to say about him is he loved his children, his family, and his friends. His heart was big and he touched us all. Our lives are different because of him. We love you and miss you Jimmy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110521066776783496.post-67556870593599693282008-01-27T02:03:00.000-08:002008-01-27T02:03:00.000-08:00OK...

Jimmys band would practice at the bar I worked at.... all I remember is "and I know"...it seemed like it was repeated 5,000 times in that one night! I'd be like Jimmy...I KNOW!!!! BUT, it was Jimmy:) he did know it got on my nerves!:) My fav. song is "wonderful tonight" and Jimmy DID NOT care if 5 other people had already sung that song...if I wanted to hear it he would be right up on that stage with a smile on his face:) I LOVED that song...I soon learned that it wasnt just the song that I loved,it was the man that would sing it to me 5,000 times in one night (if need be:) I can say Jimmy was my best friend and even though we havn't seen each other for the past year... I KNOW he would say the same of me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110521066776783496.post-85919039834797054162008-01-22T08:34:00.000-08:002008-01-22T08:34:00.000-08:00Best one I can think of is him giving the toast at...Best one I can think of is him giving the toast at our wedding. He starts off with this whole John is off the market speel. I'm like what the heck is he doing. He goes on and on and tells those in attendance he needs all the keys back from my apartment. I am by this time MORTIFIED. Only to find out that they have passed them out to most everyone in the place. Soon there are 60 year old women coming up, my friends mom's. And waiting for the very end my good friend and customer Tim comes strolling up and drops his key on the table. Priceless. That was a great day for us made even better by Jimmy. <BR/><BR/>One more. When we worked at Beaver Sports we had horrible elevator music. So to amuse ourselves we would sing. Jimmy having high range starts in with "Its my party and I'll cry if I want to" I of course follow suit. We do this thinking we are alone of course. Right about then a customer comes strolling out of a corner we could not see. Looks at us then busts out laughing and walks up the stairs. MORTIFYING. Jimmy enjoyed my embarresment to its fullest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
