In retirement they moved to Manchester, Tennessee. This is where they enjoyed the quiet and simple life of rural living. He loved to spend time outdoors working in his yard; he was a collector of cats and loved a good cigar. Jimmy had a smile that would light up a room, a devoted Christian who led by example.
