CHUCKY, NINA, AND FAMILY:
I am truly so sorry for your loss. I have known your family since grammar school and have only wonderful memories of Nina, Chucky and of course Jimmy. May God ease the pain you feel and please contact me if I can help with anything. I just lost my Mom on Hamlin and I know there is NOTHING anyone can say to make me feel better. I guess it just takes time to heal. I know my Mom is in a better place just like JIMMY. REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND

My deepest and sincere condolences for this unexpected and tragic loss. I was saddened when I heard the news. Growing up in the old neighborhood, I always saw him as Chucky's little brother Jimmy, and I can still vividly see that great smile that he had as a kid. May you & your family find unity, peace, strength, and love during this difficult time. God/Universe Bless you all.
