Jim, I have so many great memories I cant write them all. What I remember most about you is that you were always there for people no matter what and was always helping someone and having their back. I can remember hanging out at the shop working on my Chevelle all night long till the sun would come up and for all the good times that went with that I am forever grateful.
Your smile and laugh are forever ingrained in my memory! RIP Brother...

Jimmy,
I remember your birth and certainly never expected to see your passing. You were one of my more unique cousins and it was interesting to observe how you lived your life. I hope that your choices brought you joy and I hope that the afterlife brings you peace. Godspeed my little cousin.
Peace and Love, Claire

Jimmy - our family has known you since Elementary School when Ruby would give you Verdolini boys rides to school with us. You only came with us when it rained or snowed, otherwise you were too cool for that! :-) After not seeing you for many years, Ruby, Sue and Lynn were very happy to see you and spend time with you at EJ's Elk of the Year Celebration in January 2017. You kept us laughing and entertained as usual. You were a great spirit to be around; we will miss you! Our thoughts and prayers are with your brothers, friends and loved ones.

As kids in the winter we would slide down Jimi's parents hill Jimi would jump on the flying saucer and always win the race. In 1981 I bought my first bike and Jimi and I would ride. RIP my friend. Francis Velez JR
