Kitty @ Patty, I am truly sorry to learn of Jimmy's passing. Although it was many years ago, it seems just like yesterday when we all ran around in Nederland. I will always remember Jimmy as the good guy I knew him to be. Ed Johnson

I am so terribly sorry to learn of Jimmys passing, we are so sorry that we just learn this today, almost ninety days after his passing. I knew Jimmy well and spent a lot of time with him, had a lot of long talks with him about circumstances that we both had faced and dealt with thru the years. Jimmy was a good person and a good friend, I loved Jimmy! God Bless Jimmy Yoakum!!
