Not sure what to say?

Gonna miss my brother Jimmy. He was more than a teacher. He was an inspiration in my life. My mother being from Pittsburgh made our first encounter seem like destiny. It may have been silly them, but, since all I have left of him are the memories of those days gone by, I know now that it was real. RIP JP

Rest in God's strong and loving arms, Fats. Your family and friends willl miss you.

It was an honor performing with Jimmy throughout the past 40 years. I last performed with him at a benefit in Homestead about two or so years ago... we had a ball. He was a brilliant musician.

Jimmy will truly be missed.

My sincere condolences to the family.

With heartfelt sincerity, Cecilio Valdez Washington,percussionist

It was a privilege and honor to know and play with Jimmy. As a fellow musician, I have known Jimmy for over 50 years. He was an outstanding musician.
