JIMMY BRESLIN

Jimmy Breslin should be the hero of anyone who writes for a living. He certainly has been a hero to me. Rest in peace, sir.

May God bless your stance for the powerless and against the abusively powerful beyond this decade of ours!

So sorry for your loss. Our loving Creator cares for you.
"He will pay attention to the prayer of the destitute; He will not despise their prayer."
~ Psalms 103:17

Grew up reading Jimmy Breslin. You were something special and will not be forgotten. My sincerest condolences to the family.

My Dad, Phil Ranallo a Buffalo Courier Express Sports Columnist, introduced me
to Jimmy over 50 years ago.

He said to me that day, "Jimmy Breslin will be a print "super star" and boy
was my dad right. My dad, like Jimmy, was
an award WINNER! May Jimmy rest in peace. We loved him. John Ranallo

As a young aspiring writer, I had the good fortune of meeting Mr Breslin in the early 70's in the Lion's Head in Greenwich Village, with Pete Hamill and others...I would sit at the bar and listen to their outrageous stories...I was enthralled...I wanted to be him...he and that group were the last really great journalists.
Condolences to them and that family..

Another JB out of OLMM in Ridgewood. Read the column the same way I went to Mass. Never missed. God rest the soul of the man who told the city's story and used the grammar the nuns taught him. And condolences to Ms. Eldridge ,and the family whose loss is the sharpest of all.
