So sorry Sue. Jimmy "Wilbur" was a good friend. Before the pandemic I would run into him at HEB where he was a regular. I enjoyed working with him for years. RIP: Jimmy and Brenda Noone

Sue, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm grateful I got to see and speak to Jimmy over the last few years. I knew you and Jimmy through my parents when I was a young kid, then I worked with him for several years at Neches Butane. He will be missed. Prayers and Godspeed.
