Dear AJ -
We were so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. I have very fond memories of family gatherings at Aunt Theresa and Uncle Frank's house, and hanging out with my older cousins. He is in our prayers.

Sympathies to A.J. and all of the family at this sad time. The class of '61 will always remember Jim and his mastery of challenges. It makes me smile to think of our times together as Cub Scouts, the class picnic at Eldrige Park, and class activities. I'll miss our friendly chats.
