James "Diamond Jim" Letizia

Miss you brother

I know Jim passed away awhile back, but I just heard of this recently. My deepest condolences to his family. Jim and I attended school together from grade school through senior year at South Division H.S. in Milwaukee. I will always remember his great smile, and friendly demeanor. He definitely was 'one of a kind'. He used to give me rides to and from work when we were in high school and I will always remember his kindness. I'm sure he is sorely missed by his friends, family and business...

Miss you my dear dear friend

Prayers and best wishes for the family.

Sad, sad coincidence. Today I was looking for a place to eat on Mothers day. The first place I looked was Jim's restaurant. My husband Steve, was in the car business for 40 years. He passed away in 2016. When "the boys" got together, the name Diamond would usually come up. I knew immediately who they were talking about. For some reason today, I went on line looking at the fate of Cadillac dealerships. There were pictures of all kinds of Cadillacs, and a picture of a man. When I opened that...

Met Jimmy 1970 - great 67 GTO conv. A lot written about later years. As a teen Jimmy worked at Crazy Jim's on S. 16th st. Jimmy lived like 3 house away. He and Kenny worked at Metropolitan Cadillac. At night at their body shop on W. Pierice St. Moved the body shop to w. National ave next to his father's bar, Tommy's. Jimmy lived up stairs. Picked up my 1st Fleetwood from Jimmy who had to take the paperwork to the Met on Wis. Ave., where they still worked. They moved to the Lincoln ave...
