I remember Jimmy....always a nice guy!Joe Robles
I knew Jimmy in High School. However it wasn't until the days of Kenny Stablers"Diamodback" Night club that we became moderately closer. I am saddened by the fact that I'm just now learning of his passing. Another leaf has fallen from the trees of Oak Forest..................
