Melissa and Family,
We are very sorry to hear about Jim's passing. We had lost touch with him since you moved to Florida, but we were just talking about him recently wondering how the both of you were. He was a great guy and we know how much he loved all of you. He will be missed.

I have so many wonderful memories of Uncle Jim! I am deeply grateful for having had the opportunity to know him and be able to call him family. He has blessed mine and my daughters’ lives in so many ways it is impossible to list them all here. He will never be far away, but in my thoughts when I see a great classic car that he would appreciate but especially every time I make liver & onions. I know all of our hearts will remember him when we least expect it, and I know I will never scratch a back again with out thinking of him. His presence in this world will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Dear Lisa and Carol,
My condolences to both of you. As I go on, I know my memory will be jogged, a sleek shiny car, skunk stripes on the hood, a tow truck … (up the hill on Christmas eve).
No pictures needed, Jim will come to mind and I will smile.

Our luck was to know him and have him as part of our family. In times to come, at a Thanksgiving dinner, or a Christmas party, someone will say "Remember when Uncle Jim . . ."
that's all it will take for him to be remembered.

Dear Aunt Lisa,
Uncle Jim will be greatly missed. I will never forget all the vacations, the sleep overs, and Christmas Eves spent together. He was a special man whose memory will always stay alive. I dedicate my shaven legs to him each and everytime I pull the razor out :)

God Bless and keep the faith.
Love always,
Kiernan and Darryl

Dear Aunt Lisa and Carol-
We just wanted to say that Uncle Jim will be greatly missed. We will always have the fun and loving memories of all the vacations we shared when we were younger and even as adults with my own children. And of course, all the holidays, all the Christmas Eves, will never be forgotten and thought of often. We love you.
Cory, Fred, Freddie & James
