Words can’t describe what a beautiful human being I have been blessed to call my friend. His shining eyes, his loving spirit, his care for those in need, gave you a glimpse into the soul that God has shared with all of us. A part of my life is missing now but never forgotten.
He loved his family deeply and Toni was his rock as he used to always tell me. My love goes out to all of you and know that Jimmy lived a life worth living.
He deeply touched many in the Fairfax County School System which he faithfully served for so many years. From administrators, to school staff to teachers and most importantly the students that he loved, mentored, and taught at Edison High School and the Earl L. Pulley Center. They were so fortunate to be in his presence.
I will miss our little group of Rick, Justin, and Jimmy get-togethers where we would hold memories of laughter, tough times, and successes. What wonderful times they were.
I will miss our phone conversations where we shared our lives. Jimmy never complained about his health and always had a positive spin on life. What a gift he was to me and kept me on the bright side of life. He had so many friends that he called his posse who have departed, whom he deeply missed. Well Jimmy, you are with them now. God’s speed. Tom Hooty Hoot Kelly
