Edgar Jimmy

NAUGATUCK - Edgar “Papo” Jimmy Jr., 63, passed away Monday, August 10, 2020, at St. Mary’s Hospital. He was the husband of Delma (Torres) Jimmy.

Edgar was born November 3, 1956, in New York, NY, the son of Edgar Jimmy Sr. and Lillian (Lopez) Otero. He was raised in New York under the guidance of his Grandmother Bienvenida (Mita) Osorio and his Uncle Carlos Torres. He was a longtime Naugatuck resident, moving to town in 1990, previously residing in Bridgeport.

Edgar was known for his love of Salsa music, as he played the drums (timbales) professionally in various Salsa bands all his life. A true di-hard New Yorker, he supported his Yankees and Knicks but overall loved to spend time with his family.

Besides his wife of 34 years, Edgar is survived by his sons Jonathan Jimmy (Andrea Santamaria-Jimmy), Robert Jimmy (Luz Villar) and his grand-dog Rocky the Golden doodle; and several brothers and sisters. As a future proud grandfather, he was looking forward to the birth of his identical twin granddaughters. Edgar “Papo” Jimmy was a caring, loving, and outgoing human being and he will truly be missed by all his family (nephews, nieces, cousins) and friends.
