Growing up with Jimmy in the 60s he became one of my closest true friends. Sharing the pure joy of constant fishing, hunting, camping, and just hanging out together created a deep and warm bond. The Izbicki family treated me and as one of their own and the times spent at their home became a welcome and happy part of my life. My Thoughts and Prayers go out to All Family and Loved Ones. Without Jimmy and this time in my life I would surely be much less. What Fun we had. The Sea Pig Forever!

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
