Our 60th Matignon reunion was in September. At that time, I thought of Jimmy more than once with fond memories. He is remembered.

Dear Laurie, Maureen and Katie. I cannot be there with you all today but please know how I love you all and had the most wonderful days with Jim, Sandy and Pete when with you. I hope we can stay in touch. Laurie has my cell number.
With hugs to you all, Dawn

Jimmy and I were Matignon classmates. I remember him fondly. He usually had a smile and a good word. Seldom a bad word. Sorry to hear of his passing.
