It was a great pleasure to grow up across the street from Jim and his family. There are so many memories to recount including all the epic wiffleball games with the Ferdon Giants. Jim was one of the finest persons that I have ever met in my life. From the Mercuri family to the Robinson family, May God give you comfort in this time of sorrow.

Jim was one of those people you never forget nor did he ever forget you. He was one of kind and him and Kim were always very gracious and very special to our family. We didn't see them often but both my husband and I knew him as a little boy living on Fer Don. Dave knew his family much better than I did because they were involved in little league baseball when he was growing up. Our prayers are being sent to the whole family. Dave and Judy Barhorst

I got to know Jim quite well during my 10 years as UD football PA announcer. A class guy just like his dad. I will always remember the Robinsons and their devotion to UD athletics. My best to Jim`s family. I share in your loss.
