Jimmy,

I can never forget that Southern drawl of yours that told me that the Best Sausage was made from the Best Cuts of meat. It was a voice we could all believe in. If you'd talked in a British accent, then I wouldn't have been able to trust you when you talked about the key ingredient of Sausage Gravy.

I would've had to go outside and grab my gun and shoot my TV if some Brit was trying to tell me what sausage gravy was supposed to be!

Jimmy--your smooth drawl was like coming home to Mama's clammy hands, a plate of hot peppery gravy, and pants full of chiggers on a 98 degree humid, sticky day.

R.I.P.
