Christine, Sharon and Anthony,
I'm so deeply sorry for your loss, your Dad and Grandfather was such an amazing person. Lots of memories, lots of laughs and lots of funny stories. 3 stories in particular will always be some of my favorites, one involved a flag pole, another a peacock and the other one a Hershey bar. My prayers are with all of you.
Jim, Carolyn (Caruso) and Christopher Koppers

I would like to pass on my condolences to the family. I have had a fond frienship with Jimmy & Andy for over 80 years. We shared many years at the Maxwell Street District on the midnight shift. We had many Pork chop sandwiches over our time together protecting the citizens of Chicago.
