After high school, Jimmy attended SUNY Delhi and received his associates degree. Jimmy worked as an auto mechanic for his career. Last place of work was at Beck Chevrolet in Yonkers, NY. His love of cars came at a very early age, it is believed that he was born with a car in his mouth instead of a silver spoon. Jimmy loved to attend all events related to cars - his favorite days were spent with friends watching Nascar races at Dover Downs International Speedway in Delaware, Daytona Raceway in Florida and Englishtown Raceway Park in New Jersey. He also attended many classic car shows including Lead East in New Jersey. When Jimmy wasn't attending a car event, he would be watching car racing on television. For his enjoyment and research, Jimmy spent alot of time reading magazines about cars, race car drivers and engines. Many summers were spent reading on the porch of the family's summer cottage at Twin Lakes in Connecticut. In 2002, Jimmy and his wife Valerie welcomed a baby boy, Daniel James O'Mahony. Shortly after in 2004, a daugher was born, Cathryn Grace O'Mahony. The family lived in New Jersey at that time. Jimmy loved being a Dad to his two precious children. He loved taking them to the park, car shows, and visiting with family and friends. In 2015, Jimmy suffered a stroke due to complications from Diabetes. For rehabilitation and care, Jimmy moved into Tarrytown Hall Care Center where he made many friends with patients and staff members. When not in therapy or doing activities, Jimmy enjoyed looking at FaceBook and sharing anything and everything that he could.
