I offer this very belated comment after talking to Chuck Pusateri, a mutual friend, at a grammar school reunion last night about Jimmy's passing. I was also I neighbor and good friend of Jimmy, and the three if us often walked to school together. Jimmy was a wonderful friend who could light up the room with his smile. We played Little League baseball together: Jimmy was not only a great shortstop, but he hit towering homers that cleared the fences by a mile. Even though we lost touch after grammar school, I will always miss him, his heart, and his smile, very much. My thoughts and sympathies are with his family. Rest in peace, Jimmy.

Jimmy and I were neighbors and best friends throughout grammar school. As adults we went our separate ways, but I have and always will have fond memories of our childhood together. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, and I'm sure he is resting with God.

All my love to the family of Jimmy. We will always remember Jimmy standing at the foot of Uncle Joe's bed (Morelli). Joe looked forward to his daily visits. Jimmy showed us what a true friend "is". Pat Healy
