Jim

My brother you have left many family and friends much to soon. I know that you will live in all of our memories all our lives,and that your children carry your life forward, we miss you and love you. Rest peacefully with all those who have gone before. I feel that we will be all together again someday.

Our deepest condolences to Big Jim's family. He was a great guy. I always think of him when decorating the archway he came up with for our family when we remodeled. Always nice to wave at that truck that you could tell from a mile away was carrying Big Jim. RIP, ride the skies.

I also feel very fortunate to have seen "Big Jim just a few weeks ago.
I have known him for over 20 years and whenever we would cross paths we always wound up talking about the same subject every time and I feel it is important to share this with his family.
He would always get this "sparkle in his eyes" and his "face would light up" as he spoke about his kids. It was always so obvious just how proud he was and how important you all were to him. He always jumped at the chance...

Jim, I will always think of you with great fondness and miss you the rest of my life. I love you, brother.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Sorry to hear about Jim. We were neighbors for many years and had some good times with he and his family. I am lucky to have seen Jim a couple of times in the last month, since I had not seen him for a year or two. My thoughts are with the family. Stay strong.

Jim you are truly missed by an old friend, I think Jimmy and Squid as names that I thought were good but you had other thoughts I miss you, brother, Ed too. Be strong Andy and all family he was a good man sorry for your loss.

I'll always remember those WILD&CRAZY rides we had on our bikes. You will be missed, rest in peace Bro.
