May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. My family (the Ganster's) lived next door to "Jimmy" and his parents on Boas Street in Penbrook from the late 40's until we moved to Arizona in '64. He was 11 years my senior so we were in different lanes. Nevertheless, I have fond memories of him.
