When we think of Jim, we think of his wonderful smile that included everyone in the room, even us distant reletives by marriage. We got to see how he loved his grandson up close. He had a warm open heart and we know he will be missed greatly by all of his friends and family. Our hearts go out to you all.
Love, Pat and Dan

Dear Chris & family,

On behalf of the St. Thomas More HS community I'd like to offer my condolences. I'm sorry I won't be able to attend the service to express my sympathy in person, but rest assured I will keep your father and entire family in my prayers.

I have contacted the administration at school and asked them to include notice of your father's death in the alumni newsletter so friends and classmates will be aware of his passing. God bless.
