Jimmy's childhood days.

I knew Jimmy personally. We lived on the same block in East New York,Brooklyn. We use to call him Smitty. I remember his then,little sister Dodgie. We use tp play touch football on the block from sewer hole to sewer hole. His teamates were Jose and Fish, while I would have my brother Danny and my cousin Jackie. After a while, his mom would come home and his Dad would come to the door and call Smitty, and he would go upstairs.

I saw Jimmy on Regis and Kelly this morning, and he remarked that he would see his friends and family. But, nobody on the block can ever remember him coming through where he used to live. Vermont Street,stand up !!!!!!

I doubt if he will ever see this message, but from a guy that lived across the street from Jimmy Smits,...........



Warmest Regards,
