I knew Jimmy most of my life. He was always happy to see you whenever you would bump into him and you never knew where that would be. We had so many laughs together with Jimmy and our other friends and we often talked about him. Although I hadn't seen him in years, I wish I would have seen him again before he passed. RIP Jimmy. I will never forget you.
