I would like to thank each person who donated here for Jimmy. My family is ever so grateful for your help in this very difficult time. Losing a Brother/Son who had no life insurance is a toll I wish for no one else go through. Your contributions have been more than generous. At this time I have closed the Page to more donations. We feel so much love from every one and have no others words but "Thank you" The Russo LaViola Family<3

"The world is full of Kings & Queens that blind your eyes and steal your dreams, it's Heaven n' Hell"...one of Jimmys favorite songs. He was never without a song or smile. He taught me how to drink beer from a funnel, how to cook in a restaurant, how to have a good time no matter the circumstance...most of all, though, he taught me how to laugh at myself and not take it all so seriously. Ill miss you my friend.

Love ya Jimmy! You were a perfect soul, full of heart. A people person, a party maker. Always made me feel like you were happy to see me! We laughed, you dug my sense of humor, my feelings were mutual. I knew Cyndi before I really got to know you. Then one day little sis got you a job with us at Arthur Treachers. Training you was a highlight of my life, the pranks, jokes, laughs. Pretending to be locked in the walk in freezer. Our coworker career didn’t last but thankfully the friendships did. You always called me a nut, I knew you meant it affectionately. I called you crazy what’s worse I would say? Like most of us from the day, we’ve drifted apart but stayed close at heart. I don’t know what happened, but I hope you weren’t suffering. You didn’t deserve that brother. That glint in your eyes, that mischievous smile, was at the core of a warm caring heart. For everyone you knew, you made them feel like number 1 in that heart of yours. I will keep that memory in my heart . You used to say to me “Scotty beam me up” may you be lifted up and rest easy my friend!!!

Jimmy,
You were a great guy with a huge heart. You and your family helped me out when we were younger and I’ll never forget it. May you Rest In Peace. I’ll see you again.
