In August 2001, Uncle Jim was sent to the VA Hospital in Poplar Bluff and upon discharge from there he moved to live with his niece, Alice. He stayed with Bill and Alice until after Bill's surgery in 2003.

He attended Eunice Baptist Church as long as health would allow. While living with Bill and Alice, he attended Cabool General Baptist Church. After Mabel's death, Jimmy moved several times and lived in Summersville Senior Housing. When he could no longer live alone, even with help, he moved to Mountain View Healthcare.
