One of the sons tragically died in the Vietnam War. The others are there to carry on his legacy.
They fondly remember what life was like with their parents. They both worked as a team with similar attitudes and parenting styles. Jimmy was devastated when he lost Gloria and became more reclusive, but he still found a way to carry on for them. The children remember their father going over lines and responding to fan mail but always finding time for them. His everyman attitude was not a farce, and neither was his distinctive southern drawl. Anyone who met him would realize it was all real.
Jimmy didn’t do much posturing. He wasn’t overly outgoing, but he stuck to his principles at home and outside. That meant saying what he thought about his roles and standing against colorizing old movies. He was more like any other father than fans may think. He had a gift for storytelling and poetry that left audiences rapt with attention. He wasn’t strong with discipline, but the home was full of love.
