I also grew up with Jimmy and we were very close through grade school. We had some really good times together, my sister Carol was good friends with Jimmy's sister Sandra too.  RIP Jim

Jimmy was my first friend.  He lived in the house behind me when we moved in when I was 3.  We had many fun adventures together.  I told my kids about him.  They wanted to meet him.  We were saddened when we learned of his death.
