He lived to quite an old age, it never is too late you're right. I just got this today, going to watch it when I get home from work. Rest in peace.

I just finished watching this, very beautiful film. Jimmy is truly inspiring, glad I found out about this film. Found out about it through this interview of Jacob Bannon, he talks about Jimmy around the 2 minute mark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrovHpq4Dg0

Just finished this moving film a few minutes ago, and was saddened to read on Wikipedia that Jimmy died last fall. But, 92...wow! We should all live so long!

There's a 4-part interview with Linda Hattendorf, the filmmaker, from the Denver Film Center in July 2012, on Youtube:

But I also admire Linda for her initiative in reaching out to him and making it possible for his work and his story to reach so many.
