Everyone who ever knew Jim is better for it. What a thoroughly great guy he was. His classmates from Thorntown were way more than lucky to have been his friends. Hold dear the memories.

I am truly saddened by Jimmy's death. But more than that I am very grateful for the visits we have had in past several years...especially at the family reunion in 2000. Please know that I am with all of you in thought and prayer.

Dee,
Jim was a true 'gentleman', trusty colleague and loyal friend. We have such good memories of your visits to UK and the many excellent 'night outs'. Our thoughts are with you and your family and rest assured Jim will never be forgotten by all who met him in UK.

Dee and Family, So sorry to hear about the loss of Jim. He was a very nice man with a great sense of humor. I remember him telling me I was the only person who could get lost in Thorntown going to the park for a family reunion. He just happened to be at the other park with friends making chickens for a fund raiser when I arrived at the wrong park. Thinking of you and praying for you at this sad time in your life. Theresa

Dee,
Jim was above all a great friend to everyone he touched. We had many a laugh together. He was the best salesman I ever had the pleasure of working with. He will be missed by all that knew him. His great laugh will be missed most.
Stay strong and keep in touch.
Love Al Dalbec
Breakfast in San Fran. Jim was also a loyal fan of tabasco. (He tried 'Dave's Insanity Sauce' later the same day, but didn't really take to it. Marmite was also a favourite of Jim's... We loved him and all his culinary quirks.

Hi Dee:
There are no words, so I will keep this brief.
Keep in mind that there will never be an Irish Mist taken without a toast to Jim.
Take care and be well and remember that we are always here.

Dear Dee and family,
Jim was the most wonderful person I worked with at Hershey. I remember how hard we worked; but, how often we laughed! The highlight of our work experience has to be our trip to England with Thom K, Linda R, Bill W, and you, Dee! What a glorious memory it provides to me and my family. Dee, you are in my thoughts during this deeply sad time. You will need time; but, hold alll the glorious memories of life with Jim close to your heart forever. With deepest sympathy and love, Evey Schwartz
