Not sure what to say?

Jimmy always said hello with a big smile to me as a kid. He made you feel welcome as his friend. Our prayers to all of the Trapeni family.

Jimmy and family,
I didn't know your dad personally, but my dad and many members of the Esposito family knew him well. I remember seeing him puttering around the River St. home. So sad that we are loosing these amazing people, the 1st generation Italian-Americans and members of the "Greatest Generation". My prayers go out to your family.

Dear Palma, I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He was a funny character and loved by many. Please call me. Love, Barbette

Trapeni family,
So glad I got to see Jim before I came back to Fl.and while he was still at Loretta Home. He said he was my 2nd dad because I've known him since I was about 8. The old River St. days were great and your dad was the mayor. Here it is 50 years later and he was still there for me. He had a great sense of humor and I just respected him and loved him like the dad he was.

I only got to know your dad last spring but I will forever cherish the memory of our walks across the street to the church. The warmth of his soul and his infectious smile were gifts to all around him. Thank you for sharing your dad with me. Bonnie Webster
