Dear Friends,

We were so sorry to learn of Jimmy's passing in today's Courant. Please accept our sincerest condolences.

We knew each other from the "old neighborhood" in the Northend in the Vine/Capen area, about 2 blocks from each other. We went to Weaver at the same time (I in the class of ''54, and Elissa and he were classmates in '56). He was a good & decent guy and we'll miss him.

May many happy memories of your lives with him help get you through this sad time, and may he rest in peace.
