Running in to Jimmy was always enjoyable and it was great conversation. Being a "Montclair Guy" and a "Red Raiders" fan there was always plenty to talk about with him. His presence and seeing him every Thanksgiving Eve and at "The Game" was a treat. He loved to talk about his kids and would always fill me in about Chris and his great football experiences and career from BC High to Stanford. He always kept me updated on his daughters and how they kept him busy. Will miss him greatly. God Bless, Rest In Peace...!!
