Jimmy was in our 1966 class at Petaluma High. Jimmy and Donnie Lombardi were best friends. Their was never a dull moment when they were around. Jimmy was very smart and became a very successful business man. I miss seeing him at the market but grateful for his friendship.

Sorry to see you go so soon, Jimmy. You were a caring, thoughtful husband, father, friend, and good human, a vanishing breed these days. Love to your family and may they always carry the best thoughts of you and your life.
Respectfully,

Hi Maureen and Jim, I am so sorry for your loss. I'm not sure there are words of comfort to utter. I would say them, if I knew them. Hold onto each other. My love comes with this note.
I will never forget the kindness and generosity of the entire Agius family when Joe died.
