I echo my sister Betsy's sentiments. Jimmy was a prince among men and one of the gentlest people I ever met. I remember his friendly disposition, always a smile when he said hello. I remember what a good friend he was to my mom and dad, Naomi and Martin, and how much they enjoyed his and Irma's company. He will be missed by all who knew him. My condolences to Irma, Anne, Jonathan, and the whole family.
