Jo Ann and Jerry - I am just heartbroken and shocked to learn of the loss of your son, Jimmy.  I can't even imagine losing a child.   You are both in my thoughts and prayers and may your pain and agony be replaced by warm and meaningful memories.  Just truly so sorry.

I've coached baseball for over thirty years, and was the baseball Coach at LaSalle Academy in the Spring of 2000 when Jimmy was a freshman there. Even now, after these many years, and despite the many championship Teams I have been privledged to be a part of, I regularly reminisce about that Team, that year, and those affecting moments where Jimmy was a key contibutor. And was - and is - a treasured Teammate. We were not a very talented Team. Physically, we were modestly talented (at best!). And, we struggled mightily with our Mental Toughness. (Emotionally too, well...simply, we needed to "mature.") Yet, this group, this Team, gradually crystalized, then possessed, one singular quality which submerged all our imperfections -- overarching Trust. This then, molded us into something far greater and more formidable than the sum of any individual attributes: Everlastling Fellowship. With his unselfishness, and baseball magicianship Jimmy created the center of this very Special Team, in those unforgetable, idylic days when we were All Together - and young. My heartflet condolences to all that loved and cared about him.

Jo-An and Gerry, oh so sorry for your heartbreak.  I remember Jimmy as an adorable little boy on Esther Dr.  My heartfelt condolences on your devastating loss.  Eileen

So sorry to hear of your loss of Jimmy.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  We hope Jimmy is in a better place.                   
                                  Fondly,
                 Victor and Beverly DiChiara
