Jimmy was my first friend in the first grade at St. Aloysius. We lived near one another and played at City Park, which was between us. Jimmy introduced me to football cards, which we bought at the 7-Eleven on Perkins near the park. His favorite team was the Washington Redskins, quarterbacked by Billy Kilmer. Jimmy was my partner in crossing Dalrymple to the forbidden side of the park and skateboarding down the steep hill the day I fell face first. He drew in the dirt how my broken teeth looked.
Jimmy had knowledge and wisdom beyond our years. He read great books, and knew military history and world affairs. He was understated, modest, kind. We moved from St. Aloysius to Catholic High and he became Jim, one of our school's gentle spirits and leading wrestlers. He kept his smile and authenticity. Rest in peace, my friend.
