Jimmy,
You were my baby brother. I’m going to miss you terribly…thank you for taking care of mom and dad for all those years with Kitty. Im very grateful to you both… I hope you’re at peace. Say hi to Eleanor and Fred for me please…
To my beloved Uncle Jimmy,
You have left us much too soon. Some of my most favorite memories with you are venturing into Boston to attend Celtics games when I was young, as well our many jaunts taking Buddy and Colby for walks.
We shall meet again someday; till then, Semper Fi!
