Heartbreaking to hear of this news. Jimmy was such a good friend and father figure for me and my brother. Jimmy was one of those guys you could talk to him about anything without judgement. His family means the world to me and I will keep both Gary and Scott in my thoughts and prayers. Love to all the family as they process this loss.
