I met Jimmy through Eddy Reddon. He always spoke so highly of Jimmy and told me many stories. Eddy and I thought his bithday was August 25th so we went and celebrated with a bottle of wine. Jimmy was so gracious and always made you feel comfortable. He showed us pictures of his raccoon friends. He was a man of faith and will be greatly missed.

To the Luciana family
I was sorry to read of Jim’s death in the paper this morning. I have known Jim from the days when he was Service Manager for Deitch Cadillac and later for Matthews Pontiac and Cadillac. He was first class gentleman and a top notch service manager. He was always there with a smile and a helping hand for his customers and friends. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

My sympathy to the family. Jimmy was a neighbor to my Aunt Mary - then my parents when they moved into her house on Universal Terrace. He was always a wonderful person. I remember him fondly as a child growing up as I'm sure you have fond memories.
