What a wonderful mentor, cousin and friend to me! I know his struggle has ended and he was been restored with the Lord in Heaven. My love and blessings to all. I look forward to seeing him again someday. ❤

Dear Mary Ann and family,
My heart breaks for all of you on the loss of your beloved Husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. Although, we knew this day would come it's never going to make the pain less. Please accept my condolences on his passing. His gentle kindness and strength was always apparent. If I can help you in any way please let me know. Praying for all of you as you navigate the roller coaster of his loss. Peace be with you as much as possible.
Your friend,...

My sympathies to you Mary Ann and family. I´m glad that I was able to get to know Jim in the past few years and enjoyed our times in the K group.

Dear Mary Ann, all family and friends of Jim, We are so terribly sad to read of Jim's passing. We know he fought the good fight and from our view with much faith. He was a very kind man and we will miss him, too. Peace be with you in your deepest time of sorrow. May you find comfort from the wonderful memories that you shared and may you find strength from one another in all the days ahead. We offer prayers to you and our deepest condolences. Sincerely your friends at Yeager's Pharmacy. Mick,...

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Your smiles and positive attitudes will never be forgotten. You will always be remembered. From the Valets at St Lukes Bethlehem Campus

Jim was a fellow high school classmate when we played in the high school orchestra. He played the Cello and I played the viola. I like Jim. He was a friendly and decent guy. I will miss him.

Jim was among many high school friends, all those years ago. A couple of years ago we reconnected and it was fun to talk about our lives, our families, snd the twists snd turns of our lives. Occasionally when he and Mary were in Michigan we would get together, and finally I met Mary. She was as perfect as he said.
It was a pleasure knowing him and I will miss his kind spirit, ready smile, and quick wit.

I remember our times together at PHS. I will cherish those memories of past times together.

I’ll never forgot our last hug, Grandpa. Thanks for being my role model and hero over the years. You have always been “bigger than life” to me, and you lit up every room you entered with a grin and a laugh. From attending sports events to graduations to talking on the phone from opposite coasts, you have been supportive both near and far. I know one day we will meet again in heaven, but for now I will miss you. I’m thankful that the Lord blessed me with a grandpa like you.
