Not sure what to say?





To the Ross Family

I am saddened to hear of Jim's passing. It has been many years since I saw Jim. We were scouts together in Troop 23 at St. Luke's Church in Allentown. We were also neighbors in Mountainville on Allentown's south side. Only recently I have reconnected with other members of the troop and lifelong friends. This has rekindled fond memories of those days. I am pleased and proud to include Jim and his brother Kenny in those memories. May your many memories of Jim comfort you in this time of sadness. I will always think of him with mixed emotions. The sadness of his passing, but the smiles of the many memories of the old days. RIP Jim.

Lore, Scott, Ian & Jessie:
To me Jim was like a younger brother. I have so many happy memories of Jim. I hated seeing him suffering as he did. It was very difficult for him to watch others doing the things he loved to do but wasn't able. Scott you were a God sent to your dad & your talents made him so proud. He was so proud of all of you. I loved him dearly and Lore you are so special and strong. I know you will do fine. You all have so many memories. Know Jim is at peace and he will again join my Lou in Heaven. RIP dear Jim. Prayers and sympathy to all of you.

Dear Lori and family, Words alone cannot expressed how saddened we are to hear about Jim. We know Jim since his parents moved to Afton Village. He had a lot of physical problems for many years, therefore he is now pain free and in the arms of his loving dad. May he rest in peace. Love and prayers,
