Has known Jimmy since first grade. We hung out all through our young teen and early 20s. We experienced great times together in our young life. I stopped by for a visit earlier in the year and we had a very good time. We parted company with a handshake and a man hug

My uncle was quirky. But a good fella. His laugh was either uncomfortable or passive aggressive. Not a man of to many words. Looked down on himself and how others looked on him. His love was Joey.
