I can't believe it Jimmy is gone. We grew up together. He was my first love. Our families were very close. Our moms were best friends. So many memories and every year you would call me on my birthday.  The last time I spoke to you was 2 years ago. The last call when you were so upset about your leg. I'm sorry I missed that call.  I didn't know that would be the last time we spoke. I miss you Jimmy RIP . I don't even have any photos of us everything from my past is gone. I only have the memories of you guys now. Hug my mom for me will ya . Til we meet again my dear old friend.xxoo

Jimmy & I grew up together. I  remember He had a gifted ability with mechanical things. He used to help me work on my 69 Mustang. Then we’d street race it on the weekends. Jimmy was a ‘Ford Man’. He used to say “What wins on Sunday, sells on Monday”. Quoting the Ford mantra of racing. And when the critics were saying disparaging things about the Ford acronym, Jimmy used to say “First on Race Day”. Jimmy was a good friend. When I needed a roommate (in my 20s) Jimmy was there to help me with the rent. We shared a 2bdrm for about a year & had some memorable times. I’ll miss him. Thinking of you Jimmy, today, on your birthday.
