I am so sorry for his loss. He was a good man and did a lot for me. When I had my twins and didn't have much money, he helped do my girls bedroom and another play room in the basement. He was always and I mean always there for me! To his family, I send my love and prayers. As they say, celebrate his life as that is what he would want. But, I must admit that I'm a bit sad. But I'll smile everytime I see his picture or hear his name. Love you brother!

To my old friend Jimmy,
I’m having a tough time accepting your passing, never thinking it would happen to us, while fully aware that it’s part of life. Although you and I have not seen each other in a long time I have always thought of you as my best friend, brother from another mother lol. I remember like it was yesterday how often we would ride our bikes from our house in Pine Hill to your house in Somerdale to spend weekends together, playing games, pranks, partying, double dates, being kicked out of the Evergreen (always being the last two there), talking & laughing (so often) and being best man for each of our weddings.
I’m sad to see you go without seeing you one last time.

You will always be remembered.
Your old friend Joe Velez.
