"I was introduced to Jimmy a few years ago by my cousin Joe Imparato. From the moment I met Jimmy I gained the upmost respect for him. He carried himself as a true gentleman all the while having the heart as a warrior. He had the father figure for so many and I was one that felt that. See you in heaven Mr Crupi, where there are no winners and no losers, only gentle sweet souls as yourself."

"James, Angela and Robert- I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the happy memories you shared together. JJ may have reached his finish line here on earth but he will always be remembered as a legend in the horse racing world. This video is a beautiful tribute to your father/grandfather. He sure did live life his way... and as Frank Sinatra once said "I'm gonna live till I die." May he rest in peace."
