One of his great accomplishments in the Air Force was serving the General whom he accompanied on a trip around the world. He met the love of his life, Marcelle, while stationed in Casablanca, Morocco. It was there that he found his Jewish faith and began practicing Judaism. While serving in the Air Force his family was stationed in Columbus, Ohio, Oscoda, Michigan and Frankfurt, Germany.
Once Jimmy retired from the Air Force him and his family moved to Richardson, Texas where he spent the rest of his life.
The three things he was most proud of in his life was his faith, his wife and his children. He is loved by everyone who knew him and he will be greatly missed by all.
