To Louise and Family,

Fred and I wish to express our deepest sympathy in the loss of Jimmy. Actually today I stopped by my parents house, and we had a family meeting scheduled, but I said I had to cancel. My Dad asked why, and I said that I was attending Jimmy's services tonight, and he said, "I remember Jimmy as a young man, he was always a great guy"

Our deepest condolences go to Louise and the rest of the family. It was always fun watching Mr. Brusco play Bocci ball at Orange Park. He's a fixture of this city who will surely be missed.
