I had the honor to serve with Jimmy. His father and mine also served together. The PPD as all Depts. is a family and this family is mourning the loss of a shining star. Jimmy was more than just a good cop. He was a great athlete and just a lot of fun to be around. He is what every cop should aspire to be. Kind hearted, always smiling, and doing the JOB. He now joins the ranks of heavenly heroes. Thanks for all the laughs, Jimmy.
