My deepest sympathy. I worked in the 13th district but never had the honor to work with jimmy. We were on different watches. BUT I did have an occasion to play ping pong against him at Eckhart Park. Needless to say he won all the games. He will be missed by ALL that knew him. I will say a pray for him and also pray that the family stay strong during this difficult time.

Sleep with the angels Jim ~ Thank you for being Chicago's finest
