One of a kind Jim McKinnon passed away Saturday

Most 103 year olds do not stay active in clubs and exercise but Jim McKinnon was one of a kind. The Village will feel his loss rippling across several organizations. The residents of South Pago Way will feel the loss of their dear neighbor and his extravagant Christmas decorations. McKinnon founded the Kiwanis Club in Hot Springs Village and stayed active in his 103rd year. He took tai chi this year in Hot Springs. He made as many democratic events as possible and he is known for being the caller for the Razorbacks in the Village. McKinnon was a Village Pioneer and a member of the Village United Methodist Church, the first church in the Village. He was a man of many firsts in his retirement. He will be greatly missed. Jim McKinnon, Oct 30, 1907 to March 26, 2011.
