Oh, Linda, how my heart aches for you and the family. He fought such a long and tough battle and so did you. I hope you find comfort in the love and strength of your family and friends. So doubly difficult to lose your love and your best friend. You know my prayers are with you and my door is open if you want to just get away for awhile. Much love. Big Sis.

Jimmy was my Supervisor at The Bank of Tokyo. He was a kind and gentle soul. Everyone always wanted to work on his shift because he was the best boss. Besides work a lot of time was spent talking about hockey and Jimmy's love of music. He will be greatly missed and his family and friends are in my prayers..
