Jimmy will be missed by his aunts and uncles, cousins and friends. He loved spending time with his brothers and sisters, nieces, nephews and their children. He especially loved Christmas, as it was his favorite time of year; often wanting to put up his Christmas decorations in early November as it was this year, and spending time celebrating this joyous season with family and planning our Christmas parties. Jimmy will be remembered as the kindhearted, caring brother, who shared his thoughts, his heart and hugs, and always had worried more about others then himself, his struggles with muscular dystrophy took away his abilities to function independently, but never took away his faith in God and his love for his family, He will remain in our hearts forever and truly will be missed. Visitation and Interment for Jimmy will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his honor, to the Muscular Dystrophy Association National Office, 161 North Clark, Suite 3550, Chicago, Illinois 60601.
