I was in his class around 97/98 and he made a lasting impact on me. I still dabble in music production and recording. Thank you sir, for being a great teacher.
I was in Jimbo Hale’s electronic recording class at Kingsbury high school around 1990. I spent my first paycheck from a real job (at Wendy’s) on an Ibanez 12-string acoustic guitar he sold me. I still have it. Jimbo was an amazing teacher. He was friendly, supportive and talented.
I haven’t seen him in 30 years but will never forget him. I am very sad to hear of his passing, and send my condolences to his family and friends.
Jeff, so sorry for your loss. I admire your faithfulness to your Dad . I am sorry I cannot attend today.

Thanks to all who have reached out in some way to show your love and support for Dad and our family. We will miss him always but we are comforted he has been made whole and is resting in Peace.
