His smile was infectious, and his laughter would fill the room. Known for his sense of humor and quick wit, Jimmy was a true friend to all those who knew him, loyal and steadfast. A longstanding member of the community, Jimmy was the manager of the Olneyville New York System, bringing his distinctive personality to work with him every day for over 50 years. He was passionate about spending as much time with his family as possible, often cooking and singing in the kitchen. His pastimes included classic cars, bird watching, and curating his watch collection. In the summer you could find him at the beach with his wife and son. Whether by the pool, at family cookouts, or out on the town, Jimmy made an impression everywhere he went. A generous man, he will be remembered as he lived, passionate, and full of life. 

His Visiting Hours will be held in the Nardolillo Funeral Home & Crematory, 1278 Park Avenue, Cranston on Tuesday evening from 4:00 - 8:00 pm, with eulogy and prayer service at 7 pm.
