Jimmy D'
The best to ever do it.
Jimmy I knew you my whole life and always had the greatest love and admiration for you.
I can remember vividly my father and i going to the ymca with you every Saturday. You and him would hit the bag and i was usually breakin stuff.
You are the last of the mohicans. Thats it now. This world is without one of its greatest.
It was a priviledge Jimmy to have known u and been your friend and i wish your family all the strength necessary to weather this immpossible storm.

Im gonna miss u jim.
I learned many good things from having the luck of being able to watch and listen to u.
In the 80's We would come by the house on neva on saturday mornings before going to the ymca and u would be outside cutting the grass in your daigo-t. I would go inside every week and wake jamesy boy up in his pitch black room. In the hallway would be the picture of Regina in her softball uniform. What wonderful days Jim! I ran the hot dog bus for you for a coiple years. And vegas !! U were always with us out there at the rio pool in the 90's. I have the greatest memories of u and with u.
U pionered the phrase live strong'. No one lived stronger.

When my father died we had a great talk and u told me Frankie boy u lost your father and He was your heart, But rember we lose our hearts not our minds That statement was so helpfull i cant deacribe. I WANNA SAY THANKS JIM. Thanks for being there for me Jim.
God Bless you.

God rest your beautiful soul Jimmy D.
I Love u with all my heart and i will miss you ,

Sorry to hear of Jim's passing, I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his family. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.
