Read MoreI miss the days when our boys were young. I remember Allen playing catch with Chris, Jimmy & Josh in our backyard. I also remember a good snowball fight they had one winter too! Allen always said he made the best snowballs & would beat them but when the 3 of them ganged up on him, the outcome was a different story. Seems like yesterday. RIP Jimmy, you were loved by many.

Dear Karen, Jim, Chris, Family and loved ones,
I was so saddened to hear of Jimmy's passing. This has to be the most difficult time any family can have. Although we haven't seen any of you in years, I do remember all the times the kids had together in their early years. Nick especially was drawn to Jimmy; his sense of adventure, creativity and his humor. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We will always remember Jimmy.

Dear Karen, Chris, Jim, Jen, Nicole, and family,
We are shocked and so saddened to hear of Jimmy's passing. We remember Jimmy playing Little League like a pro, basketball at the Boys' Club, all the fabulous Cub Scout activities including making that fast racing car. Jimmy was athletic, smart, had a quick wit and a twinkle in his eye. Jimmy always held a special place in my heart and always will. Our prayers and thoughts are with each of you during this most sorrowful time and...
