Dear Aunty Rita, Our prayers are with you and your family. I am sitting here and remembering all the times Uncle Jim came to our house when we were young on Shirley St. We had such fun times. He was so handsome in his Navy uniform. I remember when he brought you to meet my folks, he was so excited. We had great times with him, (my sister Mary and brothers Jerry & Bobby) a Super Uncle. We will miss him.

Love Ann & Frank Ferrara
