Big Jimmy Roberts
I was reminded today of the passing of Big Jimmy.
Jimmy was the night watchman at East Campus and other M.I.T. dorms. We all loved Jimmy. It was impossible not to. I met him the first time (of many) that I locked myself out of my room, and it was while having a chat with Jimmy when one of my very best friends told me (with a big sigh) that he's gay, and, of course, there were the frozen burritos. Jimmy was a part of more life-changing moments for more people than anyone, I would guess.
We miss you, Jimmy.
