I have so many sweet memories of my cousin, Jimmy!! I loved seeing him as a young, skinny teenager playing jazz on the piano and he would take time to spend with all his younger cousins. I remember at least twice visiting him & his family in Phoenix, and they showed us around town, bought supper...and even once spent all day driving us thru the mountains. He was always the kindest man...always smiling, wished we could have been closer the last few years. I loved you very much....Elaine and family

My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. I had the honor of working with Jim at Coulter Cadillac and what a pleasure it was. He was a man of dignity and always with a smile. He earned his wings.
