Yolanda, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. What a shock to have it happen so suddenly. I’m praying for you and your family.
Sorry to hear about Jimmy. He was an entertaining and overall nice person. I sat directly across from him in the GAO Dallas office for a while.
Jimmie, it is hard to believe you have passed. In our young and crazy days we spent many enjoyable hours exploring new places and experience. Your keen sense of humor and ability to spin a good yarn will be missed.
Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with the Palmer family on this sudden loss. Jimmy was a wonderful coworker, friend and hunting buddy. We shared so many times together and he will be greatly missed. We pray that the Good Lord will grant each of you peace which passes all understanding.
Jimmie was a special person. Good at everything! His teenage years were great with his Mustang motorcycle and a Honda dream with the sweetest sounding pipes that Jimmie had sawed off just right! Great snooker player and big brother to Noah!
I worked with Jimmy for over 30 years. He was quite a character and liked by everyone. Mary and I are so sorry for your loss.
We will miss his smiling face and support at our bowling tournaments. His pleasant demeanor cheered us on and helped us bowl our best. He will be greatly missed.
Yolanda, Roger, Nancy, and Reece,
I had the pleasure of getting to know Jimmy when I graduated from college and went to work at GAO. As the obituary correctly states, Jimmy always had a story or joke that made the new hires laugh. Thank you for sharing him with us. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Jimmy was always quick with a funny story to tell of his adventures while travelling for GAO. If you ever needed cheering up, you’d just head down to his office on the 21st floor and soon you’d be laughing along with Jimmy at the absurdity of life. I will miss you Jimmy!
