KINGSLEY, Iowa -- Jimmy J. Bollin, formerly of Kingsley, a believer in Jesus as his Lord and Savior, passed on to his eternal reward Nov. 17, 2010, after an extended illness.
A celebration of his life will be 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 27, at Funeraria Del Angel South Lawn Mortuary in Tucson, Ariz.
Jimmy was born Oct. 27, 1942, in Kingsley, the youngest of nine children born to Raymond and Opal (Longwell) Bollin. Jimmy came to Tucson in 1960, and attended Sunnyside High School, where he played football. After high school, he enrolled in barber college where, following graduation, he quickly became one of Tucson's finest barbers. His gift of gab and love of sports, especially baseball, made him a perfect fit behind the barber chair.
He was also a handyman that could fix anything, a gift that served him in more than 10 years of management of a major Tucson apartment complex. There too, he was loved by the tenants for his friendly and congenial nature. Since 1990, Jimmy and his wife, Penny have worked side by side cutting hair at their busy barbershop in Green Valley, Ariz.
More than his career accomplishments though, Jimmy will be remembered most for being a great dad, a man who taught his kids to play baseball, who attended his kids' ball games, a man who was always there for them, even when it wasn't easy or convenient.
He is survived by his wife, Penny; his children, Tracy (Don) Ancharski and Steven (Brandee) Bollin; his first wife and mother of Tracy and Steven, Earlene Pruett; his grandchildren, Andrew Ancharski, Bryce Bollin, and Brian Gould; and a brother, Gary (Kathy) Bollin of New York.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and his siblings, Wayne, Maxine, LaVon, Doug, Frank, Kereen and infant Neil.
Memorials maybe given in Jimmy's name to Sarver Heart Center at UMC.
