My family lived next door to Jimmy, Penny, their parents and their dog Rube. I was about 4, Jimmy was about 9 years old then. He was my first idol. He played little league baseball, taught me how to hold a football and how to use boxing gloves. He was always nice to me. When I was 5 or 6 older boys who were nice to me were hard to find.
Jimmy and his girlfriend, Martha, used to babysit my brother and me. Jimmy was still nice to me.
I'll bet he was always nice to everybody whoever knew him. That's the Jimmy Pentecost I remember.
Rest well Jimmy.
