Jimmy, who graduated from Center Grove High School in 1965, dedicated over 40 years to being a high school sports official, passionately supporting young athletes in baseball, softball, basketball, and volleyball. His role as a street sweeper driver for Enviro Sweep for more than five years showed his commitment to serving his community before he retired in 2011. A devoted sports fan, he found joy in watching the Cincinnati Reds and often took comfort in the beauty of the ocean and the animals outside his window. Known for his strength as a leader and the heart of the family, Jimmy's deep love for his family reflects the warmth and connection that truly enriched the lives of those who knew him. His presence will be fondly remembered by all who were lucky enough to know him.
