Jimmy,
We met when we were in 2nd grade playing hockey together. For the next 10 years we were teammates and friends. You were one of the better players to come out of N.O. and found success playing collegiately with Todd Smith @ OU and then afterwards in California. You were blessed with great speed, could shoot the puck like a marksman, and often carried our team. Always quick with a laugh or pulling a gag on someone.
I’m grateful that we were able to visit when I was in town a few years ago. I admired your courage, spirit, and tenacity as you worked to maintain your strength since your accident.
May God bless you and the entire Capone family. Rest in Peace.
I’ll see you on the next shift…
Wade Erickson and family
