In Loving Memory

The Jim Farmer Volunteer Award was created in 1994 to honor a parent volunteer who goes above and beyond for our Gulfwood Gator swim team. Jim lived with his wife, Jo, and three children - Vicky, Valerie, and Kenny - on Sunnydale Road. All three of his children were Gulfwood Gators and he was very active and involved with the swim team for many years. He developed lung cancer in the spring of 1992 and lost his battle in March 1994. This volunteer award is dedicated to him in honor of the devotion, time, and effort he gave to both his own children and the swimmers of the Gulfwood Gator swim team.
