Jimmy was very aware of group and individual complexities and could dance between them effortlessly. He saw both sides - his perspective was worldly. He was a gentleman and a jester. Charismatic and audacious. Saying it louder and better! A friend among friends. A positive or cool behavior towards people he didn't know. He certainly lived life to the fullest and such a shame it was cut so short. Only the good die young! Rest in peace my old friend!
