My heartfelt sympathy for the Forsyth family. I really only knew Jimmy when I was very young. He was always very kind and generous. He was a fun young man. Remembering all the great times playing basketball, football, snowball fights, or just riding our bikes around. It sure was a great neighborhood to grow up in. Jimmy I’m sure will be missed by all his family and friends. God bless
