Jimmy was a classmate of mine back at Finberg School in Hebronville and if memory serves was also at Bliss School, Park St Attleboro. I recall his sketching of a horse back in the 3rd grade. I lost touch with him after he joined the service. My sympathies go to his wife Rita (also a classmate) and his family.
