More research changes!!
Packey's birth name is slightly misspelled - it should be: PASQUALE. Also, I believe his correct birth date is: 6/3/1900.
For Jimmy - his birth name seems to piece together as VINCENZO JAMES AGATI from the research I have found so far. He was born in Italy - 10/4/1901 and died 1/30/1982 in California.
Also, Packey & Jimmy had a brother, Joseph. Is it possible he is one of the 2 Joe O'Gatty's lised in the records? My research has found his birth name as Guiseppe Agati - Americanized to Joseph - born 8/16/1903 in Italy and died 7/1969 in New York. I'm still researching on whether he was a fighter or not! Since Packey & Jimmy both fought, Joseph might have also.
Keep punching, your chin down & your ass off the canvas!
