I can't say enough good things about my grandpa. He was funny, serious, smart, strong, caring bascially everything a person should be. he, grandma and I have had so many fun times and I will never forget it. He and I shared a special bond and I miss him terribly but I know he is still there for me, just in a different form, I guess you can say he has become my guardian angel.

I Love You Grandpa!!!

Love Sammy

I have so many awsome memories of Grandpa, Grandma and I. We were basically the perfect trio. I will never forget him and I know he has now become my guardian angel.

I love you Grandpa!!

Julie,
I cannot tell you how much Jim meant to me as my words are not eloquent nor desciptive enough. When a forty year old man seeking a new and needed career went to work for Jim it was a gift from God that he received. Jim saw in that man something that few could see and laucnched this man (me) into a new and wonderful direction that kept my family well taken care of for over 25 years. I will miss his bold but mellow voice, his true insight, calling him on his birthday, his wonderful sense of humor.
Thank you Jim Kassas for all you have done for me and my family.
Anthony
