"He was the most beautiful soul that anybody`d ever want to meet. He would do anything for anybody -- take the shirt off his back. He could turn a sad situation into a comedy," Pfeifer said.

"He did whatever he could to provide for his family, and that, if that meant him being, even if he was a little scared about something, I mean, he didn`t show that he was," Theresa said.
Those who loved Jimmy now say they're scared to live life without him.
