Uncle Jimmy, you were more than my uncle, you were my big brother, always trying to keep me in line, you were my second love after my father. I cannot tell you how heartbroken we all are but knowing you are once again whole gives us some peace. Thank you for always being there for me and my family. I will miss those facial expressions you made and your funny personality. I know the last time you held my hand and looked at me with tears in your eyes you knew it could be the last time even when I told you no tears you will get stronger. You fought a good fight but in the end God needed you more than we did. I will always treasure our time together and treasure that rosary holder you made me when we were kids. I love you and until we see each other again please watch over your beautiful family. It’s not goodbye, it’s see you in a bit ❤️

Dearest Linda , Frankie, Rosemarie Our prayers and thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. We will always remember Jimmy for being a kind man that loved to drive and do his errands and come pick you up Linda when my mom would do your hair. He would wait outside patiently and at times come in if he could. He loved smoking his cigars and we will always remember him!”
May his memory be eternal ❤️

My dear, dear brother my heart is broken. I can’t believe your Goncourt were more than a brother to me , I always felt like you were one of my children. I watched you grow , I changed your diapers , fed you and took care of you and Sharon because our beautiful Mother had to work. You got married and you and Linda moved upstairs from me. When you bought a house in Bayside We bought the house next to you. We were together for a lot of years. I will not say goodbye I will say see you later. Love you forever ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
