Description

“Mr. Jimmy” was everyone's friend. He began working in campus maintenance at age 19 and rose through the ranks to head the maintenance operation before his untimely death in 1992 at age 54. Jimmy knew the health of the campus from its pulse, often recognizing equipment problems as much as by “feel” as by evidence. He kept facilities in good working order, even with limited budgets. But the characteristics that made him legendary were his gentlemanly spirit, the unspoken kindnesses, his equal treatment of people, his unlimited patience, the readiness of his smile, and his devotion to his family and to the Lord.
