How very sad to lose such a loving soul. I saw Jimmy a couple years ago while visiting my Dad. Jimmy saw me in a store and recognized me after not seeing me for many years. All I could do is picture him jumping around his room as a young boy. This world will be a sadder place without him. My heart, prayers and thoughts go out to my long ago second family. Love you all, always will.

Jimmy I mite not have seen you for a while, but every time you came to mind a smile appeared on my face. I remember walking down hall at OHS and hearing jimmy scream. "Yo MaMa" mocking our mothers.
Limbo. MaMa Romeo I know my mother would have wanted to comfort you. You, Jimmy and your girls have never left my heart and I will pray that you heal as a family. I have great memories. On behalf of my parents (Jerry and Rae Critelli) the Critelli family send our love and deepest sympathy from Florida. I gave Amy my number on facebook. Would love to hear from you.

Family and Friends of Jimmy Romeo,
It is with great sadness that I have learned of this untimely passing of your beloved. I knew Jimmy for a few years while I attended the same grade school/middle school with him. My memories of him are of his smile, his sense of humor, his kindness and gentle spirit. Even at those young ages, Jimmy was very special. My thoughts are with you as you grieve.
