I had the pleasure of playing baseball with Jimmy for several years. Unfortunately, we went in different directions and I did not see him again until the Catholic High 40th reunion. It was a real treat to see him again. As stated in his obituary , he was a great individual. May God's grace be with you during this difficult time.
