Dear Lear Family, I just wanted to let you know that I am so sorry for your loss. The last I saw Jimmy was probably 1989 or 1990, maybe when Jeff & Jay graduated...maybe a bit later. He always made me feel welcome and a part of your wonderful family and I will forever be grateful that I had the opportunity to know him. I remember going to the beach with the family for vacation, Jimmy's easy going laugh & smile, his teasing ways, football -go Panthers!, Elvis, Christmas at the Pritchett's,...
