Jimmy, you are deeply loved by all of us, and you will be deeply missed. There was no-one like you. Rest in peace dear cousin, and say hello with love to our Aunt Nancy and Uncle Jerry. With love from one of your favorite cousins.
Jimmy- Although we have only known you a short time as your neighbor for the past 8 years, you will be terribly missed. Rest in Peace my friend! Felix and family.
James,
Listened to the entire 3 CD set of Crash Daddy – Live @ Odd Couple Saloon ’85 in tribute yesterday. The 40-year Review: Jim Leonardo on Fender bass; powerful and frenetic, rooted in blues, joyful. Played with a wide influence of styles, and with an obvious love for the music. Your Elvis covers made us smile, Ten Years After made me proud, and your harmonies with Matt on Wild Horses finally brought the tears. Damn, we made some noise and had some fun! Those things live forever!
With Love,
Steve (Tiny) & Kathy Alvito
RIP my friend. We had many good laughs at the river. I’ve heard that in heaven there are no vinyl tops, convertible’s or white interior. They also have banned the word patina and the red lights are short.
As the brother of one of my best friends, I met you years ago. Always joking around. You will be terribly missed by her & the family. She loved you very much. Watch over her Jimmy. Prayers & condolences for the family.
Dear Nancy and family,
We are sorry for your loss.
Oh, how I will miss our talks, my friend. We had so many fun times, saw a lot of great music and no one ever made laugh as hard as you did, but, more than anything I
will miss your sweetness and your loyalty. I could not have asked for a better friend. Rock on, Jimmy, until we meet again.❤️
