Jerome “Jimmy” Valentine LaBarbera II
What Jerome “Jimmy” was like
Jimmy was the best older brother. He was a character. Anyone who knew him well knew his intelligence was off the charts, his sense of humor would have you laughing until you lost your breath, and he loved his family & friends more than anything.
Fondest memories of Jerome “Jimmy”
There are too many to count but I loved sitting with him and his best friend, Erin on the back deck, having “Katie Parties,” as he called them (my name is Katie). Just the three of us sitting, talking and laughing. ;)
How Jerome “Jimmy” will be missed
How much he cared. And how he made me laugh until I would cry. Even though he is gone, I knew how much he loved and cared for me and there is comfort in that.
How Jerome “Jimmy” will be remembered
I think he would want everyone he held close in his life to know how much he loved them. How that was the most important thing to him.
