Jimmy was a local 638 Steamfitter. He loved the job and always had a story about it. He would wake up in the morning and look at the Manhattan skyline on the news and always have a story or say “I worked on that building”.

Jimmy was the kindest man. Anything that someone needed he would not hesitate to do it. Even as his health deteriorated he would make phone calls to help whomever he could. He loved his family and he loved his grandkids more than anything.
