Hello Sammy. Jimmy was fighting cancer for the last few years of his life. He had just bought a 69 Camaro to race. Funeral is tomorrow.

He brought me down a whole second back in the 60s with my new 1968 Chevelle. Jimmy was the best !!! Sorry for your loss !

To the whole Faul family-I will never forget the time, effort,and patience Jimmy shared with me over the last few years as he prepared me to be an athlete capable of playing football at the next level. He was unselfish and loving towards his boys and only thought of helping us attain success. I will never forget him or be able to thank him enough for that. He will be missed.

Jerry Coley ran a ultra nice black mid-year Corvette in Modified Eliminator in the late 70's that belonged to Jimmy. It was beautiful and I had a hard time keeping my eyes off of it.
