Not sure what to say?

Jimmy was a dear friend of mind since I met him in 1991. I was his AA sponsor for many years. I even lived with him in Hollywood in his first location for a year until I was transferred to Tampa. We spoke often. My wife and I love him very much. I keep trying to call Jimmy and he did not answer my calls. I just happened to do a name search and found out that Jimmy went home to his Heavenly Father. I will miss him dearly. He was a great guy who loved his wife and daughters.

Jimmy and I have been friends for thirty years and shared many ups and downs. He always had a deep faith that everything would work out ok. Jimmy has earned his wings, and I will miss him dearly. Take care my old shipmate. Godspeed, Cyril

My condolences to Jimmy´s family and friends. What a great guy he was. He was long time friends with my cousin Gerald Morgan. I always enjoyed speaking with Jimmy. RIP.

My most sincere condolences to the family on Jimmy's passing. I worked with Jimmy and the Perez's at 3030 Park in Bridgeport when it opened in the late 60's. Many fond memories, especially the kitchen water fights! Rest in peace.
