My thoughts and prayers go out to Jimmy's friends and family. Although I was only an acquaintance to Jimmy, I witnessed the comforting warmth of his spirit that he shared with many people...
Jimmy always took time to say "Hello, how are you doing," which is one small act of kindness that means so much to those of us who don't forget these simple gestures.
Take care...

I had only known Jimmy for the few years that he worked at the opera, but in that time got to know him as a dedicated individual always willing to put in the extra effort. As a friend and a colleague, he will be missed. Our prayers and sympathies are with you.

We are both so saddened by the loss of Jimmy. We both worked with him, my husband as a stagehand and I as a singer at the Lyric. He was a wonderful man. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
