Due to illness, I had to miss my brother's funeral. He was the best "big brother" a boy could have and the best friend a man could have. Because of his optimistic outlook on life, his love of his wife, Sally, his family and his God, he never had a bad day. He was successful in business and in life. I will miss him a lot.

Jim was the best boss I ever had. He was honest, sincere and always helpful. He has certainly earned his place in heaven. I am sorry he is gone and I wish his family and Sally the best.

Jim helped to establish the Secular Franciscan Order Saint Thomas More Fraternity in Arlington and was elected as one of its Ministers. Everyone who met Jim was affected by his gentleness, good humor, and fraternal caring --- a true Franciscan who lived his Catholic faith.
