James and I attended St Joseph's together. Because of our last names,we stood in many lines by each other.
He reached out to me on Facebook some years ago and I was so happy to hear from my friend. Every month we would meet somewhere old school for lunch and a few beers . Miss you my friend

I was sorry to see Jim had passed. My husband John Farro was friends with Jim from his days at the Horseshoe. We knew Lucy pretty well too. We spent a few summer days in her pool in the older section of Las Vegas and had some great times in her Summerlin home. My husband passed 8/4/19. He and Jim had lost contact after Jim moved to Pahrump and then to WA. We saw him once after he returned to Las Vegas. At one time we had holidays together and were good friends.
