Not sure what to say?

Thinking of my sweetheart Jimmy often. He created the best memories of fun laughter and story telling. An original beach boy. With love, Quig

Jimmy was a great friend. We had so much fun on the Tileston football team and later a large group playing basketball in the Tileston gym. Then later in High School. Just a wonderful fun person.

Bone was a great friend and athlete with great humility. God bless his family and his soul.

Jimmy has been a friend for all most all of my life. He and his beautiful mother, Linda lived in my grandmother's boarding house at 6th Chestnut Streets. Have seen him many times over the years. He will certainly be missed.

always enjoyed being around Jimmy on our golf outings at Myrtle Beach with the guys from GE.He will surly be missed, prayers go out to the family. Jerry Wright

I was quite sad to hear about Jimmys passing.... Though I have not socialized with Jimmy for many years, our days at Hemingway Elementary are very memorable.....
We would meet on the school play ground in the afternoon and shoot basketball until the church bells began to ring, and that meant it was time to go home.... My prayers go out to Jimmy Family..... Jimmy Lem class of 58

Jimmy aka Bones was a great person that I met through Roman and friends golf outings. He was such a great inspiration to what a wonderful friend ❤ can be. Heaven angels needed another angel prayers or his family and friends.
