So Eager to Get into the Water...

Jimmy's sister, Brittany, and stepbrother, Justin, told me this afternoon that on numerous occasions, Jimmy was so eager to get into the water that he didn't even bother changing out of his clothes.

One time he'd disappeared for 45 minutes only to emerge from the ocean fully clothed, his pockets stuffed with shells.

On other occasions, Jimmy would jump into the family hot tub without bothering to change first.

Sometimes this eagerness for water would just come down to Jimmy sticking his head under the faucet. I've witnessed that countless times.

He simply loved water in any shape or form, and had a deep understanding and even kinship with anything and everything that also lived in water.
