Jimmy loved living in Hugo and would often refer to it as “Heaven on Earth.” He graduated from Villa Grove High School and attended the Hugo Church until it closed. Jimmy was a lifetime farmer, and a die-hard St. Louis Cardinals fan and would let everyone know. When he wasn't out working, he could be found on the back porch enjoying a beer and listening to Cardinals baseball.
