Jimmy, The first day I met you at Brockton Trade School, I knew we would be friends for life. To the three houses you personally sheetrocked for me your legacy will carry on with the hundreds of beer cans left in my walls. Three years ago we last met on Cape Cod, I was so happy to see my old friend. I now sit here in Florida and just think about all the good times we had as teenagers. You will always be remembered in my lifetime as a true good friend, Rest in Peace Jimbo... Your friend forever Smitty
