About	My best friend and brother from another mother, died March 8 of an apparent heart attack while attending a business meeting in Ohio. He was 47. I apologize for not listing this sooner, but I just found this site again after a number of years. This is a picture of Jimmy and his son. He had 4 kids! For those of you who knew both of us, Jimmy and I were inseparable. We made each other laugh EVERY SINGLE DAY we were together, even after we graduated. We tried to do bring the same laughter and joy to everyone at Bowne. His loss is something that still bothers me to this day, 10 years after he passed away. It will be something that I will never get over. Jimmy went to college in Wichita and we stayed in touch no matter where he wound up. We called each other often and tried to get together when his work brought him back to NYC. When we did see each other, it was just like high school; neither of us missed a beat and the laughs kept right on rollin'. The last time I saw him we had a huge steak dinner and wine at Ben Benson's steakhouse (now closed) in Manhattan. I think we laughed the entire 3 hours we were there and of course, we had not only the waiter laughing, but all of the other patrons near our table. This will be one of many, many memories I will cherish about him until I die. Jimmy - I love you and I miss you brother every day. Peace, Ben Milano
