Uncle Jimmy will always be remembered by his smile on his face.. twinkle in his eye...and a funny joke! Ill always remember how him and my Dad,who looked so similar, would trick us when we were young that they were the same person, then did the same to the grandkids! RIP Uncle Jimmy.

RIP Uncle Jimmy, we will miss you taking up the whole curb in front of dads house when you would stop after your Canals run. Running joke when someone takes the 2 parking spots. " I thought Uncle Jimmy was here".

Having survived growing up tough in Philadelphia to the Battlefield at the Bulge, Jim created a life for himself full of family and friends that's about as good as it gets. Not exceedingly rich in money terms, but something more in value, a loving wife, plenty of kids, and even more grands. We could all learn something from a life well lived. At ease soldier, rest well deserved.

To the Sheehans and Domins, so very sorry for your loss. I loved seeing Jim at Royal Fitness with his Old Men Rule group shooting the breeze having coffee and greeting everyone! Jim was a character and a gentleman! I'm sure he will be missed. Our prayers are with your families.
In sympathy,
Kathy and Charlie Sullivan
