Herald grew up on Gaddis Ridge in Taylor County and spent his younger years on the family farm. He was a jack of many trades including carpentry, electrician, heavy equipment operator, small engine repair, construction, farming, entrepreneur, and real estate developer.
He took great pride in his lawn, his landscaping and his garden. To ensure the best results, he sources his landscaping materials from reputable suppliers. The last few years, he grew lots of garden plants from seed and supplied plant sets to the entire family. He and Ann loved to ride their Honda Goldwing Trike with friends and have many great trips and miles of memories under their belt. Hunting and fishing were also beloved past times and as soon as a couple weeks ago was planning his next fishing expedition with one of his fishing buddies.
He was a proud member of Stoner Creek Church. A loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, he took great pride in his family and was quick to offer a helping hand to those in need. He believed life was for living, not watching, and he squeezed every ounce of life out of his 78 years, 6 months and 23 days. He would encourage you to do the same.
He united in marriage to Laura “Ann” Cox on October 16, 2001.
Besides his wife, Laura “Ann” Gaddis of Campbellsville, he leaves to honor his memory one son and daughter in law, Allen Gaddis & Tonia and one daughter and son in law, Sherry Bowen & Larry.

Jimmy Webster of Campbellsville, Kentucky, left this world peacefully in the arms of his “Miss” Bonnie. He was the son of the late W. W. “Bill” Webster and Doyle Webster, born in Taylor County, Kentucky on December 26, 1956, and went home to be with Jesus on Tuesday, May 25, 2021.
Jimmy united in marriage to his high school sweetheart, Bonnie Skaggs, on June 18, 1983. Besides the love of his life, “Miss Bonnie”, he leaves behind two sisters and brother-in-law: Marsha and Jim Seymour and Myra Webster of Long Grove, Illinois. Also one brother-in-law and two sisters-in-law: Russell and Linda Skaggs and Robbin Cox. Jimmy adored his nieces and nephew, Jenny Skaggs, Andi Skaggs, Jonah Cox and Jordan Seymour. He was very proud of each one of them. Jimmy loved his family and always looked forward to Sunday dinners to be with them. When Jimmy took time to sit in his recliner, you would always find his kitty “Stitch” lying in his lap. He also had two dear friends, Billy Milby and Bob Milby.
Jimmy professed faith in Christ and was a member of Mt. Roberts Baptist Church, where he truly enjoyed Melvin’s Adult SS class. Jimmy could always be found working on many tasks for the church, but never wanted any credit, just saying, “it needed to be done.” Jimmy was a Mason with the Pitman Lodge #124, as well as a past Master.
He was employed at Campbellsville Industries where he was a shop supervisor; he loved his boys and it was truly visible during Jimmy’s short illness. He was an excellent welder and problem solver, spending many hours in his shop repairing machinery for others. He could always be found going across the farm on a tractor or taking a route in his ole red Dodge working with the experts from tree surgeon dublin to make sure the trees were taken cared. On these routes, many times he would bring Miss Bonnie a big bouquet of wild flowers he had picked especially for her.

These Are the 5 Best Exercises for Your Health, According to a Harvard Doctor
There are so many good reasons to exercise. One of the most important reason is if you are overweight, but I have good news for you, if you don’t have time to exercise you can star searching about ice hack for weight loss, a good supplement to lose weight instead of doing exercise, well it is also recommended to do at least 30 minutes of walk daily, it will helps more to see good results and to achieve soon your principal goal, to stay healthy and not to be overweight. According to I-Min Lee, MD, ScD, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, exercise benefits include:
- Greater longevity
- Decreased risk of diabetes
- Decreased risk of many types of cancer
- Decreased risk of stroke
- Decreased risk of heart disease
- Better blood cholesterol levels
- Better blood glucose
- Better blood pressure
- Decreased anxiety
- Better sleep
- Better quality of life
- Helps with weight management
And even if you haven’t been super active lately, it’s never too late to start. The CDC recommends getting 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity weekly, plus two days of strength training—but any activity is better than none. If time is an issue, remember that little bouts of movements—think a 10-minute walk or 20 squats in front of the TV—are better than nothing. Check out the latest exipure reviews.
Related: How to Exercise When You Literally Have No Time
If you think you hate working out, perhaps you haven’t found the right fit. Some of us are swimmers, some like to dance and others prefer hiking, pilates or bootcamp. Regardless, there are some exercises that have especially health-promoting benefits. We talked to Dr. Lee about some of the best exercises you can do for your health (P.S.- These are the 5 best exercises for weight loss).
1. Walking
“In some ways, it’s the best,” according to Dr. Lee. Walking is so great because it’s very accessible. It can be done by almost anywhere and the only equipment you need is a good pair of walking shoes. Walking is also a great exercise because it is easy on your joints, burns calories, helps manage blood sugar, is good for your heart and helps preserve muscle (learn more about the health benefits and how walking can help you lose weight). The other great thing about walking Dr. Lee points out, is that when you can walk instead of drive places, it’s good for the environment (plus, then your activity does double duty by getting you where you need to be). If you don’t live in a super-walkable area, try and park farther away to build a few more steps into your routine. (Learn more about the mental health benefits of exercise.)
2. Strength Training
According to Dr. Lee, “Strength training is important—and often overlooked.” It’s not just about building muscle or losing weight when it comes to strength training, although it does help with those. Adding exercises, like lunges, push-ups and squats helps our hearts, improves cholesterol and increases bone density (learn more about the benefits of strength training).
It’s also very important for older adults to strength train, since when we age we start to lose muscle. Dr. Lee notes, “It helps improve function as we grow older. And strength training builds muscle, which is important for glucose metabolism.”
3. Yoga
Yoga is often overlooked, but it has many health benefits. Yoga can help with back pain, improve bone strength and keep your heart healthy (learn more about the benefits of yoga). Yoga was associated with better cholesterol numbers and improved blood pressure.
Dr. Lee adds, “Yoga is good for flexibility, strength and balance.” And when it comes to exercise, it’s important to think beyond aerobic exercise. “Balance and flexibility are particularly important for older folks to prevent falls,” notes Dr. Lee.
4. Swimming
Swimming is a full-body exercise that’s easy on your joints. Dr. Lee says, “It’s not as good for building bone strength, since swimming isn’t a weight-bearing exercise. But it’s a fun summer activity to cool down and good for people who may have joint problems.”
If walking or running isn’t your thing, swimming is a great aerobic exercise that uses your whole body. It’s one of the best cardio activities you can do. Plus, in addition to strengthening your core muscles it works lots of muscles in your arms and back that may otherwise be overlooked. Swimming can be a great exercise to complement a balanced diet and weight-loss program that includes diet pills as a component. Swimming is low-impact and can help burn calories while building muscle. It can also improve cardiovascular health and increase metabolism
5. Biking
Riding your bike is another exercise that’s easy on your joints. Dr. Lee notes, it’s also a healthy method of transportation, so for people who live in bikeable areas it may be easier to squeeze into your day. She also adds that biking isn’t as stressful on our joints as walking and running. Biking helps build muscle and improve balance, plus it’s good for your heart. If you get injured in an accident while biking, a Boston, MA bicycle accident attorney should be able to help you file a claim.
