He is also survived by his sister, Jean Burns; brother, Michael Bass; two brothers-in-law, Richard Blankenship (Sandra) and Gary Blankenship (Sue); and two sisters-in-law, Wanda Krantz (Russell) and Bonnie Blankenship.

      Jimmy retired from Griffin Pipe Products of after 31 years of employment, and was a faithful member to Thomas Road Baptist Church when his health allowed him to be. He loved traveling with his family, especially to the mountains of Tennessee and Myrtle Beach.

      The family would like to thank all of the nurses, doctors, and healthcare workers that have taken great care of him, but a special thank you to his nurse, Joanna with Centra Hospice.
