Big Jim always played life 'right down the middle'.

He trusted others easily,
he was generous with his cheer,
he had my back---in ways he hardly knew--- for 30 years.

Jim always was the life of the party no matter where he was. He was a great and loyal friend and will be missed. Now he is with all the pals, David, Stan Rodgers, and many more, in Heaven laughing and probably missing all of his friends and family! Blessings and Peace, Penny SItko

I will always remember sitting next to Mr. and Mrs. Bergen during the Dirty Old Men games and hearing Mr. Bergen yell at the boys, "Pull up your skirt and hit the ball!"
He always made me laugh. We will miss you, may you rest in peace.

Jim was a good friend of mine and I am truly sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to the family.

Jim was a good man and he always managed to make me laugh. People these days could learn a few things from Jim, that's for sure.

God bless his soul and may he rest in peace.
