Jimmy was an amazing person and friend. He lead his life as he wanted and died the same way. He was always funny and the face contorting finished it off. He was ethical in his profession and life and cared about everyone. Well maybe not trump. We were blessed to have Jimmy in our lives and all his accomplishments in law, writing, community and family was a reflection on all of us. You can rest in peace knowing you have left but your imprint will be left on everyone you knew. Peace my friend. Bernie
