In 1962 they adopted a son, James Clayton Taglioli. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, gardening, riding a bike, Alabama football and dancing. Most Saturday's him and Ethel could be seen on the dance floor at Johnny Harris's. He owned and operated Jimmie's Barber Shop for over 55 years until it burned down in 1997 but he continued to cut hair at the house until the young age of 100. Later in life he enjoyed going to city market or River Street to people watch. He had many good friends but most of them have gone now. He trained many to become barbers but none made him prouder than when he trained his son Clay.
