Dear Mary Beth and family:
I am so sorry over the loss of Jimmy. As time passes the pain will lessen, and I hope you can remember all the wonderful times we had together when we were younger. Jimmy had a loving soul, and loved his family and friends very much. The Hudec family are all wonderful people and I feel lucky to have been so close to them in life. I'm praying for Jimmy and your family.
Love You, Valerie

Dear Hudec family: I missed Jimmy at our reunion in June and I sit here now and remember his smile and his laugh. Jimmy was unpretentious, unassuming and most of all, kind. He always had a moment to speak with you and had a way to make you feel important. Jimmy was a gift to all those whose lives crossed paths with his. Rest in peace, Jimmy, from your fellow MHS classmate.

My sincere condolences to the Hudec family. Jimmy was so full of life growing up and his passing brings profound feelings of sadness. My memories go back to the fastest kid in the neighborhood playing pick-up football over on the field at St. Joe's and as the best freshmen running back at Manatee High. Always smiling and fun to be around yet tough as nails, which is why this is such a suprise to me. This tragedy shows us what bad luck can do to good people. I pray that he has found peace now.
