    Mr Jimmie kept the postal vehicles going for many years. It was my pleasure knowing him all through the years. But the visits at Deer Park were just special. We had great times on the porch eating fish. And many fish tales were told. He was a great man. The family will be in my prayers.

    So sorry to the Davis Family. I have known that family for many years. I used to get a laugh at BA ballgames. He didn’t mind hollowing for the Cougars. Prayers for the family.

    Larry, Darrell, Earl, Angie, Neal, Ben, Sarah, Al and other family members. Very sorry to read of Mr. Jimmy's passing. Mr. Jimmy and Mrs. Jewel have left a wonderful memory for the family to recall and reflect with much admiration in the times ahead. Your family gatherings, trips and working alongside the family for decades in the business is something to be very proud. I know each of you will share laughter and fond memories of your very special family. Thinking of you...Mickey Hilbun and Lisa Covington-Hilbun.
