Jimmy O's Love for music was evident from his earliest years as young boy dancing around the house in his Davey Crockett outfit and remained a constant love throughout his life. He was a skilled mechanic who learned his trade working on big-block chevy's alongside his father and brother John. Together they went on to work at Hertz Truck Rental, maintaining and repairing a fleet of trucks. His mechanical expertise later led him into the refrigeration industry, where he worked on large commercial refrigeration units. He was a natural talent and eventually founded O'Loughlin's Refrigeration, a turnkey business built through years of hard work, skill and determination.

After suffering a stroke Jimmy lived with his brother John in Bolton, where he spent his days listening to the music he loved, enjoying the warmth of the sunshine, which he called laying out at muscle beach, finding comfort in family and familiar routines. Jimmy will be remembered for his devotion to music, his mechanical talent, his strong work ethic, and his role as a Father, Grandfather, Brother, Uncle and Friend. He was dedicated to AA and all The Steps. He was a Lover of The Three Stooges.
