I knew Jimmy somewhat in High School. Many years later I worked with his wife Connie at The Allegheny County Housing Authority. I got to Know Jimmy again through the family functions the Housing would have, he also did some home repairs for me. I remember Jimmy as a Down to Earth Good Guy and he had a reputation of being an excellent craftsman. Rest in peace Jimmy, and thank you for your service in Vietnam.
