Jimbo was a ferocious and intimidating fullback for EMHS soccer.  He had a fierce "game face".

Wow!  I knew Jimbo quite well.  As Byron said, he was ferousios . . . in many ways.  I played football with him in 9th grade at Randolph JH.  We never won a game, but we never lost a fight.  He had a killer bike and a killer smile.  I'm sad that he's gone.

Yeah!,Charles Manson on the outside, Dick Van Dyke on the inside. Foundus memory was a trip to the beach one 4th of July,on a whim, with Jimbo & Mark Cherry. Caught the swing bridge going into Oven Drive. Jimbo egged me on that I couldn't down a six pack by the time the bridge swung back. Needless to say I spent rest weekend hugging the cumode.

Well said, Ned! I also made a trip to OD with Jimbo on our motorcycles. What a great weekend. We played soccer together and I got a job for him working with me installing cranes one summer. We were on the road all over. the Carolinas staying in cheap motels and hanging out at dive bars when we were not working. Jimbo was a good friend and wonderful person.
