I will always remember you and the "dispatch number" you would give, "OI812". May you rest in peace. DCFEMS

Jimmy was arguably the finest dispatcher to ever work in Communications. I met him while assigned to the DCFD EAB (Ambulance 24) in 1988-89. He always managed to make everyone laugh while remaining cool under pressure. You'll never understand the impact you had on my life. I love you, brother. God bless you and your family.
