My Mom worked with Jimmy’s Mom many years ago at the shoe factory in Halifax, Va. We went to ball games and their home. They were a nice family and we loved them all. I remember Jimmy with a smile and such a nice guy. I am so sorry to hear this and my sympathy and prayers go out to his family. May your memories live on in your heart .
My deepest sympathy,
