Betsy and family - I'm so sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of Jimmy growing up. He taught me to walk again after my surgery and he taught me how to play catcher. He was a wonderful friend to my parents and we all loved him so very much. The Katalinas family is keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
