I have so many wonderful memories of Jimmy... his great sense of humor, beautiful smile and lively spirit! While tending Polly's garden, I could always count on a cheerful greeting from Jimmy! I feel truly blessed to have known him. You are in my thoughts and prayers, Teresa and Teasie.

With my sincere sympathy,

We have so many lovely memories of Jimmy and of his visits to us in Ireland. We partied and laughed for two weeks and Jimmy kept us in stitches with his story telling.
We loved those special times and will miss you always Jimmy.

Our very sincere sympathies to Teresa and Teasie
