On behalf of the membership of the Crystal Community Club I send our condolences to The Tecce family and friends. Jim, like his father before him, was always willing to help out the Club, or a fellow member. He was a good man, in a time when good men are few and far between.

To the Family of Jim:
I had been associated with Jim at the Popular credit union, and have been a customer with the family before Jim took the business over. Jim was one of the nicest gentlemen I have ever known, always smiling and very cooperative in all ways. We have lost a very dear friend, and I want to extend my deepest sincerest condolances to the family. May Jim rest in piece.
