I just, out of curiosity was thinking how I could possibly contact Jim. I'm not on any social media sites, I retired from the FD, and Jimmy was in sanitation, but he me and Vinny Waters lost touch, then I heard yrs. ago Vinny died, and it hit me hard, now today, Jimmy, man it hurts. My 2 pals we 3 were a team together, in a mad situation, we kept ourselves happy by each other, and I hope to see them in Heaven, and will now pray for Jim too! Brian

When we moved and said goodbye,
we didn't realize it would be so final.
We'll always remember you as a good
neighbor and a fine friend!
God bless you and your family with
peace.

Love,
Steve & Donna
