Jimmy was my cousin, but we were more like brothers growing up. He lived right behind my sisters and me in East End. My memories of growing up as kids with Jimmy could fill a book - from playing wiffleball every day in what seemed like blissful endless summer days, to sleeping out in our treehouse and traipsing around East End at midnight, to singing Beatle songs acapella in the back yard. I don't remember which one of us was Paul, but I'm thankful you and I finally got to see him together in Philly! Thank you, Jimmy, for adding joy to my childhood and beyond. See you on the flip side my brother. Love, Timmy.
