My thoughts and prayers are with Steph and the girls and Jimmy's family ..Jimmy was always fun loving, always the one to give you a hug and make you laugh..I will miss him dearly..I remember all the times our families would get together for the weekends as kids at Lincoln Park..picnics, fishing and just finding something to get into trouble along with David,Sherry and the rest of us...I used to follow you guys around and remember one time when I fell into the Lincoln park pond and Jimmy jumped in and got me out.He told me that i was not a fish and only fish swam in that pond!....I will miss his smile and laughter most...Your there now in Heaven with your Mom and my mom. We will miss you always and cherish our memories of the good times we had..We now have another angel in heaven.
