I hope they find comfort soon. Please pass on our sincerest condolences to the entire Family.

Pete, your welcome. There are no words to express how bad my heart aches for Serese, Joe, Leona, Jill and Chad, there are no words to express how one deals with the loss of your child, grandchild or nephew. I can only pray that they find comfort in their faith. Judge Andy Fusco did a great job writing the book on Jimmy, it is hard to believe we are just two years away from the 30th anniversary of Jimmy's death at Oswego Speedway from what many described as a simple spin. They are a great racing family that showed remarkable strength, courage and faith twenty-eight years ago when tragedy invaded their lives, hopefully they will find peace and comfort now through that same strength, courage and faith.
