He was a master chef and left his footprint in fine restaurants in LasVegas, Nevada, San Jose and Santa Cruz, California and Boerne, Texas. He enjoyed life in the Hill Country and especially our present homewhere he spent the last fourteen years of his life. His final requestwas that I care for him in our home which was fulfilled. The words from the song “Jesus, Lover of My Soul” composed by CharlesWesley and published in 1740 are dedicated to Jimmy. Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly. While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Savior, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; Oh, receive my soul at last.
