I first met Jimmy in June of I think 1980mwhen I was sent to Nine Mile 2 from the Syr Local. We had much in common , probly because of our shared heritage. I was about 25 years old , I think Jim was in his late 40s , and we spent many days talking about our families , sharing Italian food recipes , and the food ,playing a lot of poker and gin rummy . Had many long and very meaningful talks about what was going on in my life , and got a lot of great advice that I used later on . He reminded me very much of my own dad . I really loved the guy !! Your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers . I will miss him .
Thinking about your family.
