I long touted Jimmy's wide-ranging musical matery, to friends, classmates, and anyone else who'd listen: Jimmy was a virtuoso. He was awesomely talented, and, from all accounts, an all-around "great Brother". May He Swing With The Angels For Eternity.

Godspeed Jimmy, and thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. Now singing in the ultimate venue...

I never had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy Castor; however, I did go to Micheal Jackson's Tourture Tour, with Mr. Castor's lovely daughter April. April and I shared that unbelievable moment in the 11th row of Giant Stadium, and I just want to say thank you.

Never forgotten !!!!!

It might be a few days or a year or more. Its still hurts when we lose someone we love we still cry just as Jesus did John 11:35
