I was so sorry to hear that Jimmy had passed away. Jimmy was such a sweet and special man, quick with a smile, and he always made me laugh with his fast wit and amazing sense of humour. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

I still can’t believe that our beloved friend Jimmy is gone. I have so many good memories because of Jimmy. He was one of the best people you could hope to have in your life and I feel privileged to have had this amazing man in my life for so many years. His loss is far beyond words right now, and I know I will miss him sorely. Yet I wouldn’t change who he is to me or a single moment or memory I have shared with Jimmy.
Rest easy my dear friend. Know that you were loved yesterday, you’re loved today and you will always be loved by us.

Jimmy was one of a kind. He was one of the sweetest guys I know with a great sense of humor. As a friend he always had your back. Jimmy was all around fun loving to everyone. He will be truly missed and will always have a place in my heart. I will always cherish the fun times we had together. May he now rest in peace with his best friend in the arms of the lord. Amen…

Jimmy was a great friend and neighbor in O.C.. I always enjoyed his great humor and outlook on life. We had many special dinners and picked many a crab. The Orioles lost a true fan even though in the latter years he was not able to attend, he never missed a game. His love for the team was like no other. Every time in the future that I go to the Condo in O.C. I will always remember my time spent with Jimmy when I arrive. We know you have now gone to a better place and now you can look down on the rest of us until we join you in heaven.

I can’t believe he is no longer with us, Jimmy had the kindest heart of anybody I have ever known. He had the greatest sense of humor and was a true friend for many many years. I will cherish the many fond memories especially the many fishing trips on the “half speed boat”, crazy times during the ice storm, the Baltimore Orioles, and many other good times. He would always come by every day to take the dog for a car ride. (She loved her Uncle Jimmy). I know you are in a better place now, Rest In Peace my friend

Jim definitely had a great sense of humor and loved watching his O’s on TV; as long as the cable was working for the games all was good. I truely consider Jim to have been a great friend and neighbor over the years and will miss seeing him in OC.
Thanks to Jimmy our group of friends became extended to include Terri and others. I look forward to a time when it is safe again to share a few beverages with our friends in OC for a special toast in Jim’s honor; we’ll be sure to include his preferred brew. Until we meet again Jim I’ll remember you fondly, Hope
