Dear Karen,
Jimmy, in addition to being a cousin, was a friend to me and a good friend to so many individuals who knew him and socialized with him. He had a wonderful personality and was a joy to communicate with. A good man, a true gentleman. He wore a smile that would light up a room.
Remembering Jimmy on January 12, 2021.
