Sincere condolences to all Jimmy's family - I was so shocked to hear the sad news about Jimmy. After 29 years I still remember the way in which Jimmy made me feel so welcome during my 6 month visit to Toronto in 1982. Without his and (his family's) generosity and warmth it would not have been such a memorable time.
