He graduated from Queen Anne’s County High School in 1967 and then attended Chesapeake College where he met his wife Mary Imler Glynn.

Jimmy began his career as a waterman and eventually purchased his own boat, the Cary Chris. He loved the water, working on the Chesapeake Bay, and being the captain of his boat. His perseverance and commitment served as a model to his daughters when they set their sights on their goals as young adults. Jimmy was very proud of his daughters’ accomplishments and loved them both for their individual strengths and achievements. He loved making his grandchildren laugh and sharing his love of the water with them. After working on the water for nearly 30 years, he became a postal carrier for the U.S. Postal Service in Grasonville.
