You saw me grow up from a troubled teen to an adult that got his head screwed on straight. I remember you appreciated that day I stood up for Harley at the boys and girls club when that kid was trying to fight him. He will always be my brother and I´ll always remember you Jim. Next time I see Harley were going to eat cob salads in your honor.

Growing up with Jimmy, Joey and Nick was like having brothers instead of cousins. Working the fairs and all summer in the pool. May your memory be eternal. Till we meet again. Love Athens
