I only knew Jimmy as his nurse at St Joseph Hospital. He was unfailingly pleasant, charming and gracious. It was hard to watch him get weaker. It must be very difficult for his family to lose him. He was very proud of his grandsons; loved his family and always spoke highly of them. Wish I had known him longer.
I am so sorry for your loss.
