Jimmy also served on the board for the Pittsburgh Youth Golf Foundation. He was a huge Pittsburgh sports fan, especially the Pirates and Steelers. He also loved Notre Dame Football. Jimmy was full of life. He lived life on his own terms and to the fullest. He was everybody’s buddy, and enjoyed a good Irish whiskey occasionally. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
