Jimmy, our family friend growing up lived across the street. Our parents, best of friends. So very sad to hear about his passing. You had a great friendship with my Dad and worked together for years. Our neighborhood was one of close friends always playing outside until the lights came on at night. Summers up at Bucks Lake were frequent. So many memories You will always be remembered my friend. Rest in Peace

I´ll remember all the trips to Bucks Lake, our days together during and after high school. I´ve always considered Jimmy to be one of my best friends in life even if we hadn´t kept in touch over the past several years. I´ll miss him dearly.
