Most of his long time friendships revolved around racing. He also loved fishing and hunting. But Jimmie was best known for his sense of humor. If you were around him you were going to laugh. We often called him “Benny Hill.” Jimmie was preceded in death by his parents, James A. Head and Hazel Cash and daughter Angel Lea Head. He is survived by his wife of 65 years Clara Lucille Head; daughter Vickie Burkett and husband Kenny; son Tommy Head and wife Rhonda; sister Diana Fazzini; brother Doug Cash and wife Merita; 5 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
