So sorry to hear about the loss. I had not heard about the loss of your mother, either. I went to school with Lynn at York many years ago and wondered where he was. If he reads this I would love to hear from him. It has been a long time but I still remember our grade school days.

My deepest sympathy to Jimmy's family. I was stunned and saddened to hear that he was gone. Otis had the most wonderful smile. He was funny and kind. I will forever look for him at the track and miss his wave as I come down the return road after a run.

Jimmy,
I can't believe your gone and I don't get one last hug with you. I still see you with your mustang and your silly Buffalo Bills pants. We had so many more Buffalo Bills games too and my daughters would have loved you like crazy!!! I will always remember you and I pray you are at peace in God's arms!!
I LOVE YOU JIMMY forever and always,
