Jimmy worked for over 30 years as a phlebotomist and lab technician. He volunteered with child literacy programs, Compassion International, and groups that support adults with intellectual disabilities.Jimmy had many passions throughout his lifetime, including playing guitar and singing in multiple bands, hiking and spending time in nature, reading great works of literature, solving logic puzzles and every clue on Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, cheering on his Pittsburgh Steelers, and most of all, being surrounded by his adoring family.

He loved Jesus, and his faith saw him through everything in his life. Jimmy was always content and found joy in the simplest of things, a lesson he passed on to everyone who knew him.
