Miss the weekends up at camp Vic´s and Sport Island Pub, and you too old friend

I have good memories with Jim up on Sacandaga lake, Vicks pub, Sport island Pub.. Worked on several construction jobs with him he was always in a good mood and a all around generous person, always ready to help a friend out.. I´ll miss ya Jimmy!! God bless ... Rob T Saratoga

Jim was the finest buddy a teenage girl could have asked for. I will never forget his sixteen year old self taking my precious Levis and returning them a couple of days later, beautifully embroidered. Running back into him through the years was always a special treat. This world would be that much sweeter and kinder with a few more Jimmys. Never forgotten.

An old firend from our days at Birchwood elementary school. Goodbye. Wish I could see you one last time.

Jimmy Rinella Colorado 1973

Summer '73 Jimmy & I set off on a westward roadtrip. Destination: the promised land (California). He didn't bring any shoes (it was summer). We didn't make it all the way but the attempt was transformative. RIP, buddy.
