They were introduced by Jimmy’s cousin who worked with Cindy. After turning him down for three months, Cindy finally commenced to a date at the Admiral Drive-In Theatre. They eventually married at Claremore Lake on May 5, 2001, by David Short, Jimmy’s boss at the time. Claremore was a wonderful community for Jimmy and Cindy to raise their family.

He recently earned his Master Certification for Diesel Mechanics while employed by Jim Norton Chevrolet. Jimmy had an extensive amount of training and was well respected by many colleagues and apprentices throughout the industry. Jimmy loved the outdoors. He spent countless hours on his hunting leases in Hartshorne, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. He enjoyed fishing at Lake Texoma and Missouri Lake. He loved rock climbing in Jeeps and cruising the highways on his Harley Davidson CVO Street Glide. Always involved in his children’s activities, Jimmy became a professional scorekeeper for the girls’ volleyball teams. He volunteered his time and helped anybody in need.
