Dear JoAnn and Family
We are so sorry for your loss.
Jim and I met when he moved in next door to me in grade four. We have been friends for the last 50 years.
Even though we had been separated by a few thousand miles over the last many years, we still maintained our friendship.
Jim was the most generous person I have known. He would give you the shirt off his back. He was't afraid of anyone or anything, "a real man's man".
I think back to the times we spent as childhood friends and growing up together as teenagers, along with Jims's brother John, the "Tupper Street Turkeys," and how close we all were.
I will miss that skinny kid I met some 50 years ago but I will never forget him.
Love and support always,
Ron and Sue Uremovich

I am very saddened to hear of "Jimmy's" passing! I only wish that we could have had more connections. The last time we spoke was at my mother's funeral, Jim's aunt Marie...... I have very fond memories when we were kids growing up! My thoughts are with you.
