I wouldn't be able to contribute much but I would contribute something. I think that it is a great idea. If anyone is going to set one up and with Steve and his family's approval please let me know.

Thank you Josh and thank you all again for your kind words. Your thoughts and prayers mean more than you all know. Below is a portion of Jimmy's obituary. United We SK8 is an amazing program that teaches special needs children to skate and allows them to be part of a team. Most of the kids in the program are under the age of 8. The coaches all took Jim under their wings and made him an honorary "assistant coach". He was so proud to be able to go out on the ice and help the little kids navigate their way around the rink. Every Sunday, he'd tell everyone that he had to go to work and help his teammates. Please don't feel pressured to donate, again your thoughts and prayers have given such comfort to me and my family. Thank you again and God bless you all. This is an amazing community that we have here on Net54.
Jimmy was a proud assistant coach for the Blackstone Valley Bulldogs Hockey Team, Hopedale.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Jimmy's memory to United We Sk8, 61 Northbridge Rd., Mendon, MA 01756. (gofund.me/4zmax4).

Desiderata
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
