Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

Jimmy was one of my mom's first cousins, but he always treated me as if I was his first cousin. We shared a love for all things Italian and for travel in general. I will miss his FB comments. I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you find peace soon.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Jim was a customer and friend of mine for many years. Whenever getting his haircut, he always bragged and showed me new photos of his family. He loved you all very much and was so proud of his family. He loved showing the trip photos and those little ones. Such a proud father, grandfather, and stepfather. I will miss him dearly and he will always be in my thoughts and prayers .
