Jimmy was my older cousin by a few years and we spent a lot of time together during our early years. I looked up to him tremendously. He was a sweet, mischievous guy who could convince me to do whatever he said. He once got me to move my moms new car so he could get his GI Joe that was under the car. The car was parked on the top of the driveway hill at his mom's house. When the car crashed into a tree at the bottom of the driveway he and my brother Mike and my cousins laughed like crazy while I sat alone in the car at 5 years old. When aunt Gerry and my mom came out to find me in the car at the tree , they were not happy. Jimmy stood up for me and took the blame. He was a wonderful guy with a great sense of humor and a huge heart. Beneath a tough exterior was a kind, gentle guy. He will be missed but his incredible spirit lives on. Condolences to his wife Debbie, his mom Gerry, his brother and sisters and everybody who will miss him very much.
