In addition to the loves of his life Kevin, Andrea & Laura, Jimmy loved Monty Python and Peter Sellers, and would like to be remembered as: having briefly worked as Peter Sellers stunt double in fight scenes with Inspector Clouseau’s manservant Cato, and having occasionally worked as an officer of the leaw.
Although recently summoned by the banshee and accordingly set off in the Cóiste Bodhar, Jimmy has finally had the come-hither put upon him. He now happily resides with in the comforts of King Brian's home in Cnoc na Síge, playing his fidil and enjoying his dúidín.
