I have great memories of Jimmy, school when he volunteered put his hands on this science fair project, a globe with electricity running through it, his bleached hair standing on end!!! We all cheered and clapped and we amazed at his courage…and his HAIR!!! Wwe shared the same birthday and always planned to get together to celebrate our old age…too young…
You will be missed Jim.

I’m so sorry for the loss of Jimmy. He was an old schoolmate of mine and he has done my hair several times. I could not believe he passed. He was so much fun and a good conversationalist.
Jimmy my heart is sad and I will always remember the good ol’ days.

I am so sad that Jimmy has passed. I will never forget all the fun we had with Jimmy when we lived in Woodstock. It was nice to see him again when he came back to CT. He always did a nice job on my hair.
Jimmy was too young to leave this life, but that is out of our hands. I am praying for his entire family and his partner. Last time I saw him he was so happy, he had married and life was good for him.
Rest in Peace Jimmy My heart is heavy but my thoughts bring back smiles to my face.
So sorry for the family.

I’ll miss Jimmy, I remember all the times we had in school in Woodstock. He was a good man and I enjoyed the times I talked and spend time with him in school. My condolences to the family.

I just heard the sad news today, from a mutual friend. I am so very sorry for everyone’s loss – he was a great guy! And he’ll definitely be missed…
My sincere condolences go out to Jimmy’s family & friends.
I enjoyed going to see him for haircuts, the coffee, the conversations, and I even bought one of his scarves that he made, which I still wear every winter, and which has now become precious to me. I will miss driving out to Woodstock for my periodic hair appointments, and all the comfortable chit-chat we enjoyed having while getting my hair cut, etc.
Rest in Peace, my friend… you deserve it!

I was deeply saddened to find out that Jimmy has passed away, I met him in August 1996 and lived with him for 4.5 years and have great memories. My late mom Claire really loved him and went to him always to look beautiful. Jimmy will always be in my heart as he was part of my life. may he R.I.P. and his memory will live on forever.. my love , Allan
