Jimmy was a dedicated teacher. Here is a slide show created by his most recent students. http://web.photodex.com/view/b29kmkm4/?watch-b29kmkm4

My father's death was unexpected, but he died surrounded by friends and family. Many people who shared life with my dad attended his service in Chicago and shared many stories of his life. This is the slide show that we watched together at the end of his service. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=wVHudoF9dUY&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DwVHudoF9dUY%26feature%3Dyoutu.be&app=desktop

Memories of my father have been shared on various online mediums and this blog is an attempt to consolidate those memories and make them accessible without having to use social media. Jimmy- You are missed!
