    The novel that was Jimmys life will never be written, a true tragedy. He was the best and funniest man all of his friends have ever known. The stories and humor are legendary. There’s never been anyone else like him. We mourn his passing but can’t help but smile at the thought of all the great memories, the times we had together. He was the ambassador and spirit of the North Side, and the toughest – pound for pound fighter we all looked up to. A legend passed. Love you always.
