The deal included using his name on the product. Jimmy wasn't happy with the way Sarah Lee was handling the product, but could do nothing. I learned this from a radio interview he gave back about 8 years ago.

Very unassuming in public, gave his support to lots of local events. His house burned nearly to the ground a couple years age--he and his wife escape unharmed, the house was completed last fall I believe.  |  IP: Logged
