Jim's Family & Friends...
I've known Jim for several years but only from going to baseball games. What a great guy. He could get in a conversation with anybody at anytime and make us feel we've been friends forever. Ballgames won't be the same. You have my deepest sympathy.

Dear Pat and Family. Please accept our deepest sympathy on the sudden loss of Jim. God took Jim home in the most gentle manner, just like Jim lived his life, as a gentle-man and great guy. Joe and I always looked forward to speaking with you and Jim at all the Wulkopf/Talbot gatherings. When we think of Jim, we think of a gentle giant, always smiling and friendly and putting others first, while always talking so proudly and with love for you, the kids, and the grandchildren he loved so much...... Of course, I go back to childhood with Jim in Richmond Heights and we always enjoyed reminiscing about those days..... You now have a wonderful angel watching over you from heaven, and leading the way. He will let you know he is still around you, just look for the signs and discuss them with each other, and you will smile as he wants you to and as he always did. May God take care of you during this difficult time. Love and Prayers, Joe and Kathy Checkett Buttici.

Dear Patti and Kids,

I am so sorry to hear. I will never to get hear that booming voice say "Hey, Kid!" again. We all love Jim, and felt that with him we always had a piece of our dad with us at weddings and parties. When my dad passed he had three phone numbers in his wallet and Jim's was one of them. I know that they are together now having a great time!

Love always,
