Cornbread, I am gonna miss seeing you every week. We talked and you were always a delight to bump into. I miss you already. Please find peace and fly high with lots of loud music and clam chowder. May your family also be at peace and I’m so sorry. Love Sandy

I was very fortunate to spend time with Jimmy just day's prior to his passing. I spent many many year's hanging out with Jimmy after we became friend's and we have been friend's longer than i can remember. Jimmy's passing is a very hard thing for me to accept and i still cannot even believe that this has happened. I have many fond memories of Jimmy and these memories will never pass. Condolences to all of Jimmy's family and friend's !! RIP James, your friend Bill

To the family and friends of Jimmy,
I am so sorry for the loss of Jimmy. He was such a kind and gentle soul. His laughter was something to behold. I will never forget that night that “ Cornbread “ emerged. The cold air, the crazy hook shots, but most of all, the laughter we shared. It was priceless. By the end of game,Jimmy was so into it, I think he really thought he was Cornbread Maxwell. I am lucky to have gotten to be a part of that special night. Rest In Peace Jimmy , you are one of a kind.

I was so saddened to hear that Cornbread had passed away. I had known him through my brother Rich and then working with him at Castle Hill. He was by far the most sincere and kindest person - never a bad word about anyone. When I remember him, it will be with a smile - as I'm sure many will. My sincere condolences to all that love him. He will be missed.

Such a great guy and always made me smile. I dreamed the other night I was back in the kitchen at Castle Hill and I was asking for you. You weren’t there. The news I read this morning breaks my heart. I hope knowing that there are happy memories of you helps to ease some of your family’s pain.

CORNBREAD had a heart and a kindness bigger than life. He had a way of making you feel very special when he stopped from baking something wonderful the give you a smile or tell a joke. Wherever he went happiness followed. I cherish those moments. He will be so very much missed.
Love Jeannie
The bench will be perfect
