To Eva, Irene, Mary Ann, John and the entire extended Conklin family, I was shocked and saddened to learn of Jimmy's passing. He and I had talked a few weeks before his passing and he had told me about his recent hospital stay. Jimmy and I shared a passion for hunting, fishing and life and anyone who ever came into Jimmy's present, became a better person. His unique laughter would fill a room, and you did not need to see him to know he was there. We spent many, many hunting camps with our dads and hunting family's and he was always telling a joke. You fought the good fight my friend and I know you are now without pain. Tell your mom and dad, Grampa Jones, and my folks hello for me. I am sure you will find a place to hunt and fish again. As we ended our last phone call with mutual "I love you bro", I will say it one more time! Love you Bro!!
