My deepest condolences are with Jimmy´s wife Donna Fusco and his family. He was a long time Windsor CT friend of my brother and I and although we were miles apart, my brother stayed in touch and kept me in the loop. Jimmy was a good soul and a good friend who always remembered where he came from. My heart, prayers, and thoughts are with Donna and the family. Sleep in Peace Jimmy
