Jimmy and I used to run side by side along the roads of Plymouth and Leonard streets as kids and teenagers growing up 100 feet from one another. Our family's were very close.

Following high school graduations, Jimmy joined the Navy, I the Marine Corps. Jimmy became a member of the GRFD., I a member of the GRPD....
