Wow!! What a great friend Jim was. I will miss him terribly. We enjoyed donating time and working on the fall festival at Annunciation. Jim worked extremely hard to make sure all went well and everyone enjoyed their time at the festival. May the peace of the Lord be with Jim and his family. Fabio Espinosa, Longwood, FL.

I was Jim's Supervisor when he was the Kodak Sales Representative in Miami about 40 years ago. After he left the company, I lost track of him and was very sorry to read of his passing. He was such a bright, conscientious young man I'm certain he had a successful business career and I hope the happy memories he made with his family will ease their loss.
Sincerely, Bob Barr DeLand, FL

Jim is one of the hardest working servants of our Lord that I have ever met. I say "is" because I know his work here on earth is not done as he will be nudging us all the time. We will feel his presence with every effort we make at Annunciation on behalf of others. It was more than a privilege to know him, learn from him and serve with him. Without his vision and hard work we would not have such a successful outreach through SVDP at Annunciation.

Jim was a good friend during our years with Eastman Kodak. I know he will be missed by his family and friends.
