Burial will follow in the Hobart Rose Cemetery Jimmy was born on May 4, 1959, in Iowa City, Iowa, and lived with his maternal grandparents in Fairport, Iowa, and later in New Liberty, Iowa. He attended Wheatland, Iowa schools. His school administrators described him as a brilliant student who sloughed off on his school work yet managed to learn. Jimmy would agree whole heartedly with that. Jimmy was a rig attendant in the oil industry and had lived in Hobart for the past 20 years. He was extremely bright and witty and always looking for new adventures. We will miss the sound of his laughter, his sense of humor and the late night calls. Those left to honor his memory include his four children, Jimmy Cole of Hobart, Oklahoma, Pamela Cole of Hobart, Oklahoma, Jennifer Cole of Odessa, Texas, and Jason Cole of Iowa; his former wife, Patricia Cole of Hobart, Oklahoma; his mother, Betty Cole Fowler of Muscatine, Iowa; his maternal grandmother, Wilma Cole of Muscatine, Iowa; four aunts whom he grew up with, Wilma VanDee of Union City, Pennsylvania, Delores 'Dory' Stecher and husband, Jim, Norma Stelzner and husband, Tim, and Sherry Morgan and husband, Dennis, all of Muscatine, Iowa; and three uncles, Sylvester 'Mike' Cole and wife, Gale, of Buffalo, Iowa, Donald Cole of Fairport, Iowa, and Dean Cole and friend, Beth Oakes, of Muscatine, Iowa.
