Pop Jim I wish I was able to be there to say goodbye. I love you very much and I know how much you loved my family and I. Thank you for being a grandfather to me, you never missed a big event in my life and was there for every holiday. I’ll always remember you playing the lottery and watching the tv for your numbers at mom moms place in ocean city. I’ll always remember the orioles hat you have on in this picture and your love for Norte dame football. I’m glad you’re at peace and not suffering anymore. Say hi to Mom Mom for me. Love and miss you very much! 🤍

What a great guy, the world has lost a good soul. Rest in our Lord.💔✝️️🌻
Bo, I am so sorry about Jimmy. At least he’s at peace now and not suffering, and he made it to his birthday. 88 wonderful years. He actually died on the same date (May 31) as my grandmother, your Aunt Carrie, back in 1974. I know he was known as the Baron, but for me Jim will always be my cousin Smooth, as in Smooth Operator.❤️ He had a friendly easygoing way about him, with a kind smile and a joke or a good word for everybody. When I was a kid he just seemed so cool and larger than life. The life of the party! I loved being around him and wish I’d spent more time with him over the years. To me, he was like a wise guy from a gangster movie. The women loved him and the guys wanted to be him. Even though I didn’t see him nearly as often as I would like, I will miss him greatly.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I promise to raise a glass or two and toast Jim, you, and entire Brokos family. Love you Bo!❤️
Jimmy was our neighbor on Richardson Street and was a nice guy. He always had a smile on his face and a kind word. RIP, Jimmy.
