He loved the Harrison Community.
Jimmy didn’t have a large family but he cared for them just as he did the Community. He cared for his aging mother until her death in 2005, a cousin Linda Maley (passed in 2011) and always tried to be there for Linda’s son Sean Maley. In the past few years his health declined as well.
