Working in Construction as a carpenter was what Jimmy did as an occupation. Being the avid outdoorsman, outside is where you would find Jimmy, most of the time. He loved Archeology and FlintKapping. Jimmy loved to hunt arrowheads and was very talented when it came to making arrowheads. He had pursued this with great expectation. When he wasn’t busy with his arrowheads, Jimmy would go camping and fishing. When he needed time out to relax or to think, you could find Jimmy on the porch swinging. Jimmy was a very loving and caring son, brother, and uncle, that enjoyed time spent with his family.
