My cousin Jimmy lit up the room for me whenever he was in it. I really enjoyed his sense of humor and his smile.
He was always willing to lend a hand to my family.
One of my favorite memories of Jimmy was when I was a teenager, he picked me up and we rode the train to Boston Garden to see my High School play in a championship hockey game.
My Dad always spoke highly of Jimmy.
