I just heard about Jimmy passing away. Jim, Bea, my late husband John, and I used to have great fun together many years ago. He always enjoyed a good laugh. He was a devoted husband to Bea, especially after her stroke. She couldn't have had a better partner and caregiver. My condolences.

My mom shared many memories with me about the family, and the joy and laughter you brought to her. You will be missed just as I still miss her.

To Jimmy, Eric and Linda.. sending you sympathies in the loss of your dad. I will always remember family dinners at grandma and grandpa's house.. they were priceless. I too have a ceremony on Friday as my dad, your Uncle Dick, passed at 90 years old. We will celebrate their lives on the same day. We will keep their memories forever..
