Jimmy aka P.O., as all of the cousins affectionately called him, was one of my favorites-always smiling and laughing and telling a story. A true Italian in every sense of the word. Will miss you, Jim-miss you saying "Melainy!" and will always think of Marge when I think of Jim-how good they were to one another. True, life-time love. Goodbye, Cousin.
