Location: St. Alphonsus Catholic Church,

Our beloved Jimmy passed away Saturday peacefully holding his sister's hand as we gave our blessing back to Christ and our parents. Jimmy, the 6th of seven children, was born to Sam and Rosalie Rispone on December 30, 1960. He is survived by siblings Sammy Rispone and Frankie, Gary Rispone and Glenda, Eddie Rispone and Linda, Johnny Rispone and Christie, Jerry Rispone and Bronwen and Kaye Rispone Lato. He was preceded in death by his parents, Sam and Rosalie Rispone, two sisters-in laws, Phyllis Rispone and Clydette Rispone and brother-in-law Steve Lato. Jimmy loved music, dancing, parties, weddings and sports. He was always the life of the party. But the one thing he loved most was sharing in the lives of his nephews and nieces. Much thanks to all the coaches and players that made Jimmy feel so special. Jimmy was the only person ever to be able to go in the locker rooms at Central High, Redemptorist and Catholic High. Special thanks to all the wonderful caregivers who assisted the family with caring for Jimmy over the last few years, especially Ms. Linda. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, January 10, 2017, at Resthaven Gardens of Memory and Funeral Home, 11817 Jefferson Hwy. from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM. Visitation will resume on Wednesday, January 11, 2017 at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church, 14040 Greenwell Springs Rd, Greenwell Springs, LA, from 10:00 AM until Mass at 11:00 AM. Burial will follow in Resthaven Gardens of Memory. Pallbearers will be his nephews Kirk Rispone, Vince Rispone, Thad Rispone, Stephen Lato, Matthew Rispone, and Lane Rispone. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Special Olympics.

Our prayers and condolences to the Rispone family. Jimmy has always shined bright no matter where he was or who he was with and always had my family and I cracking up at his stories he would tell us when he would come visit my sister Connie whom also is Downs. They went to school together for many years and even attended school dances together on several occasions . They may not have seen each other often through the years but they were life long friends. You will be missed Jimmy, God Bless.
