I miss you Jimmy! I like the times when I would ride on the back of your motorcycle. Thank you very much for helping me build my fence. It was fun going to breakfast with you, Eileen, and Dennis, and then go to Denio’s to walk around. I surely do miss you my friend. Sending love and peace to Eileen, your friends, and your family. Love you, Jimmy.

Eileen my heart goes out to you and Jimmy's family. I still remember the time you both stopped by, I was thinking of getting rid of a box of old baseball cards and Jimmy told me to hang onto them, they might be valuable later. Everytime I see those cards in my garage I think of you both. What a good guy. Love You.

I met James when his wife, who I known since around 1977 when we worked at McDonalds, introduced me to volunteer at the Sacramento Music Festival.
My condolences to Eileen and James’ family and friends.
