To Jimmy's Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Please know that we are thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers. Jimmy was a great guy and we had alot of laughs on jobs of Famolares.. Usually at Chuck's Expense, but that would be expected.
Jimmy will be truly missed.
Warmly,
Holly and Tom Schlichting
