Leonard Wood, Missouri and for a short time in Germany.  After Jimmy was honorably discharged, because of a medical condition; hence the scars on his neck, he returned to Clear Lake and worked at Hartzel Manufacturing in Turtle Lake.  In  2000 he worked for Eckwall Construction in Clear Lake.  Jimmy was best known for being a collector of sorts, who loved attending auctions, garage sales, and flea markets and made his living operating a salvage business from his home.  Jimmy was always on the go, he was known for his sense of humor, who was always there for people and he loved everyone; you would always be greeted with a smile.  Jimmy will by sorely missed by his family and friends.
