Jimmy, After 6 years together not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. My first boyfriend and the love of my life. So many good times-so many adventures. (Fl.,Calif., Israel,, Spain, Switzerland-Europe) with your surfboard) Today is our 50th reunion and I wish you were here with all of your friends. Gone but never forgotten. Barbara Carter Marks

What fond memories I have. We surfed and fished together for years. You truly inspired me. Probably the best surfer in Miami Beach. All the surf trips we took together. A lot of people did not know that you surfed for G&S (Gordon Smith)out of California back then. They would send you surfboards for free. You would try them for a month or so. Then sell them to me cheap if I liked them. I moved to Cocoa Beach after high school to pursue a surfing career all because of you. I thank you my friend. As far as fishing you where the best. Never forget you me and David Lawrence fishing 79st bridge late at night. I hooked a large fish in the middle of the bridge. It wrapped around the pilings. I was going to cut the line. You grab the rod and we did nothing for 10 minutes. It freed itself. Got it to the seawall after 40 minutes. You told David to jump in and grab the fish and he did. We were laughing so hard. It was a 40 pound tarpon. Thanks Jimmy for the memories!! Miss you everyday.
