ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO TALK TO.
NEVER DID I SEE JIM WITHOUT A SMILE.
GOING TO MISS YOU.

August 23, 2012

What a kind gentle man. He passed it on. Rarely will you see a more loving father-son relationship than I observed between Jim and his son Brian. I'll miss his company on the golf course, watching Xavier in the Sweet 16 or just shooting pool. God Bless him and his family.

Jim certainly will be missed along with his words of wisdom and kind witty comments, he sure knew how to make you smile! Not only were we neighbors but also bowling buddies!My heart and prayers go out to his family and especially Brian and Tommy! God bless you Jim!

Jim was the first person I met when I moved back to Cincinnati, thanks for all the good talks. I will miss you.

I was saddened to hear about Jim.I only knew him a few years from the Main Entrance and thru his nephew Tom but will surely miss his smiling face and personality.He always called me Nora even though my name is Norrie,but he did it on purpose...he said his Mom's name was Nora...it was easier to remember my name that way.I took that as a complement for sure.My sympathy to Tom and to Jim's children and grandchildren.
