  7. It is with a heavy heart that I send this condolences to the Martinez family, I am at a loss for words on expressing how hard it was to accept the sorrowful news of Jimmy’s passing. I use to baby sit this young man and his siblings when they were kids and they knew me by my nickname “Tiny”. Jimmy you are an angel now and may your spirit fly with the angel of God, I can only imagine the beautiful the homecoming that is taking place in receiving you. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten, Say hello to you mom for me. Rest in Peace!

  11. Eddie, I was saddened to hear about the loss of your son Jimmy. There will certainly be a time of real grief, but hopefully it will eventually be replaced with the wonderful memories that you and your family shared with Jimmy and his family. God’s blessings.

  12. I met James when he began working for Bennie Bock several years ago. He always came in with a smile and was always ready to help with any job, no matter how big or small. He always told me how he loved working for Bennie because he always learned something new. Your visits to the office will be missed my friend, rest in peace.

  15. Jimmy had the most vibrant personality. He always lit up every room he walked in. I had the pleasure of working with him for the past 6 years. Even my kids knew him and he always made them laugh. The bakery will never be the same. Walking inside those doors and seeing all of his stuff without him there was gut wrenching. He was a one of kind type of guy and so so special to my heart. He was so loyal to those that he cared for. He was always asking me “what can I get you? Do you need anything? I will cherish our conversations forever. I know he’s looking down over all of us. ❤️
