I will always remember Jim as an amazing Dad to Lisa and Kenny. Growing up - he was the most fun of all the Dads! He took us to sundae's best, he played with us in the pool, he coached us in softball, he even let me drive the van down the alley once! He had a huge laugh and was so generous to me. Lisa, I can't imagine how much you'll miss him- but how lucky you were to have such a great Dad! My condolences to Mrs. Motzko and Ken also.

We were greatly saddened by the news of Jim's death. He became a special friend at St. Philip Neri. We have many fond memories of him, especially his working with us at bingo. May he rest in peace, and may all of his family and friends be comforted by the fact that he no longer is suffering.
Love, Robert and Mary Van Kirk

Agnes, Lisa and Kenny,
I remember some very fun times at SPN and on several camping trips with your family. Jim was always a fun guy to hang around with.

He will be missed by many, but hardly forgotten.
