Jimmy, Has it only been a year? It seems like forever since I have seen your smiling face, heard your wonderful laugh and your beautiful voice! Not to mention all of the scrumptious food that you use to fix for us. You were and still are so very special to us and we miss and love you more than you could ever know.

I cant believe that it has already been a year that we lost you. I drive past Little talbot Island everyday and get overwhelmed with thoughts of you. You are always in my heart and I know you are always with me!
I love you always

One year ago today you left this world and the world has never been the same since. Never again would I be able to hear your voice or touch you face. And for that, I am sad. But I am so thankful for the 48 years I was given with you! You helped make me into the person I am today! You taught me to live, love, and laugh. You graced the world with your beautiful gift of music, which is priceless to me. I think of you every day...little things remind me of you---the sound of the birds chirping in the morning---the scent of an Italian dinner cooking---a song you once sang---a walk on the beach--you are with me! I love you Daddy!! You are always in my heart!! I miss you so very much!!

My Brother James,
Mom always said to watch over you. I did my best and now it's time for your spirit to help and watch over me as I go for my yearly physical exams. I think of you often. God bless you, James.

I first met Jimmy at the founding conference of the Region 8 UAW CAP. He became the Chairman of the Florida State UAW CAP where he did an outstanding job until retirement. He is a very private person, but always conveyed his loving of family. Gail, he is not gone but will live in the hearts of those he has known. God bless you in this time of sorrow.
