Jimmy Nolan and I were friends and we were active in Democratic politics for many years in Cook County. He was very helpful to me and I was never able to adequately thank him for all he did. He loved his family, his neighbors and his friends and we loved him back. Don´t rest too much because we need your "plus, minus, zero precinct sheets."
