Uncle Jimmy is what we know him as. His best friend is my Aunt Marty. The two of them stayed with my family on a couple occasions on their numberous trips around the globe.

My 2 children Spencer and Lauren and I visited St. Louis Memorial Day 2008 - it was great. We will miss laugh and the insights he shared with us about the war era he grew up in. He's a hero in our book and we will miss him dearly.

I lived almost directly across the street from Jim for the last 22 years. I raised 2 granddaughters here all that time, and Jim was their favorite. 2 other granddaughters now live with me, and he was a favorite of them as well. I will miss him.

There never was a better next-door-neighbor. We Helms grew up on Melvin, and Mr. Zaggari was like everybody's favorite uncle. He and Norma were good friends to the entire Helm family. He is one of my favorite childhood memories.
