Uncle Jimmy, I never had the chance to tell you what a great influence you had on me when I was a young boy. I thank you then and I thank you now. Wish I could have been closer to you now that I am older. May you know how much love and respect I have for you. Chris and Bobby were and are lucky boys to have had you as a father. God Speed and I will always think of you with much love and admiration...Brian Kenner
