grew up with Jimmy as kids. he would ride his bike up to the circle on mcinley rd and we had fun playing street hockey and relevio and other sports. jimmy was always the best and we all wish we had his skills. i learned to skate at the cesspool beside simoni flowers and we had pick up hockey games. it was a blast. jimmy was always good natured and inclusive for us younger kids. I hope you read this john as andy and i shared some tears over reading about his passing. i am in nh now and still carry the norwood sports tradition i got from you both whenever i play sports. hope you are doing well my friend.

Miss you so much bro... Words cannot describe the emptiness in my soul right now. You left us too early we still had lots of things to do! You will be the first see mom which is good because you were always her favorite! Playing foil hockey in the kitchen! You beating me to the puck in all the drills! Never letting me forget about letting you ride my dirt bike down Simoni's Hill and that the chain was across the road so you ran off the road into the woods! Too many memories and there should have been many more. I know I used to tell you to live every day like its your last but I never thought I'd not get to talk or see you the next day at work!! Love You and miss you so much.... God speed my brother!
