Jimmy and I were close friends throughout our childhood and through Warwick High. He saved me from drowning when I was 16 and I owe the rest of my life to him. We went separate ways as an adult, but I will always treasure him as a friend.

Jim and I were friends for 50 years.
We did lots of things together during those years and shared many a laugh.
I shall miss him. Rest in peace my friend.
