I REMEMBER JIMMY LONG AS BEING A VERY HUMBLE PERSON WITH A SOFT SPOKEN VOICE. HE WAS A QUIET PERSON BUT VERY CARING OF OTHERS AND FRIENDLY TO ALL.HIS STRONG DESIRE WAS TO SERVE THE LORD AND BE A WITNESS TO OTHERS. HE DREAMED OF BEING A PREACHER AND THAT DREAM CAME TRUE. JIMMY WORKED AT 3M BUT ALSO BECAME A BAPTIST PREACHER.HIS SISTER, CAROLYN WAS BLESSED TO HAVE HIM BE THE ONE TO BAPTIZE HER IN THE RIVER. JIMMY DIED IN 1964. HE HAD SOME GAS DELIVERED TO HIS GARAGE AND WHEN HE OPENED THE DOOR IT BLEW UP BURNING JIMMY, CAUSING HIS DEATH. HE HAS ONE SON THAT LIVES IN FLORIDA.HE LIVED ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME AND WAS WELL RESPECTED IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. MEMORIES OF JIMMY AND THE SPIRIT WITH WHICH HE LIVED HIS LIFE INSPIRES THOSE WHO WERE AROUND HIM. DOUGLAS ANN LIVINGSTON
