From working river tows to farming the Deltas rich soil to dive bombing golfers @ Rosedale CC in his ultralite, he literally did it all. His journey to be with his mom, dad and dear brother Bill began late Monday afternoon. He loved as he was loved, hard, fast and true. And it didn't matter if you were human or animal, same love. Grandpa Jimmy, Uncle Jimmy, Unc, Jimmy Mac, Pops, Jim, old man, Jimmy, Dad. He answered to them all and was deeply loved by those calling. Grief is the price of love, and worth every bit of it. Jimmy is survived by his wife of 39 years, Kris McHardy. His sons Nathan McHardy (Lesley) of Jackson, Dylan McHardy of Missouri and Nicole Roost (Brad) of Wisconsin.
