I am very sorry to hear that Jimmy has passed. As kids, we grew up around the corner from each other; 9th Ave for me and 16th Street for Jimmy. Finally, after several decades of not seeing each other, we talked as men, during the 2003 DHS reunion.
He still had that vibrant personality.
My condolences to the family.

I was shocked to hear of Mr. Rankin's passing. I live down the street from him and would see him when walking. Mr. Rankin was so pleasant and friendly; it was nice to have a neighbor like him. Please accept my condolences.
