His friends in the police departments were great about coming to the house and picking him up and letting him just ride around with them. This helped Jimmy a lot to get out of the house. They also helped out a lot on the funeral. I remember, the Chief of Police at that time, Richard Duncan called me and asked if they could do some stuff at the funeral and I let them do what they wanted and I can say they showed a lot of class and gave Jimmy a very nice funeral.
