Jimmy worked in the dining hall for us at St. Christopher's. More than that, he was a greatly loved person on the campus and in the entire neighborhood. Everyone in the area knew Jimmy and helped take care of him. We had missed him in recent years. George McVey
I shared about a month with Jimmy in Glenburnie Rehab in Feb/March 2020. He was such a joyful, pure spirit. This make me so sad. May he live on in the memories we have and the stories we tell. RIP my friend !
