I´m heartbroken and so sad to hear of Jimmy passing. He was a friend, a mentor someone who always shared with others. The world has lost an amazing man. My kids loved him, called him Big Jim. He always came to their games. Words can´t describe how much my heart aches today knowing we´ll never again be able to chat about the our ole days on Kenzie St. Jimmy taught me so much and wouldn´t take anything in return. There were times I needed support, Jimmy would then make me laugh. I will never forget "the one and only Big Jim" and his wonderful gifts & personality.
Rest in Peace.
And thank for being you.
