Jimmy, I will always remember your warming smile and hug, and caring kindness to my Aunt Wanda, and to me, my Mom (Phyllis), all my family, and to everyone around you. When my family moved to Canoga Park, I cherish the memory of how kind you were, welcoming us to the neighborhood. That was the lifelong nature of your heart that cared so much, making the world a better place.  Rest in peace, my friend, in the loving embrace of the Lord. You will be so missed.    

Jimmy was a wonderful person and we will miss you.  My sister reminded me of Jimmy always wearing a Superman T-Shirt and we all knew it meant SuperSalisbury, or your little Bultaco motorcycle that you road up & down the street and Red getting so angry. And how you always swore you were going to kick Charles Manson's ass because he stole your motorcycle clubs name "The Family".  I have so many pictures of us growing up together and you were always smiling.  I've added a picture of you sitting with me after my mother's funeral, one of the few times you didn't have a huge smile.  You were more like a brother to me than just a great friend.      

I had an awesome group of cousins on both sides of my family but I will never forget how much fun it always was to be with Jim. He was a few years older and loved to pick on us but only in fun and I loved him for that. I  just regret that being a thousand miles away I could not spend more time with him. Rest in Peace Jim!
