Not sure what to say?

I had a business relationship with James. He was always friendly and positive. I enjoyed our visits. Rest in Peace James. I will miss you.

He was a beloved high school friend. Wonderful sweet gentle. Condolences to all. Marcia Kaplan Rudin, uni class of `58

I'll always remember being so excited waiting for the family to arrive just to see his Cadillac. Then one year it was a Toyota, equally as nice,but I asked did u fill loyalty? And he smiled and said no after driving a Toyota , Cadillac made me fill to them. Lol. Great sense of humor, great person, and a man I can truly say I idolized. Love you Uncle, your work down here is done!

I am sad to hear of your passing Brother James

I remember Jim from Uni High - such an excellent person and a great singer!

Jim was one of the best supervisors I had at Kraft Foods. I was just a student working on the lines in Ihe filling department...He was so kind to me and I had total respect for this well dressed gentleman! He would have a kind word and always a smile that I never forgot. He seemed like he was quite a Christian. I hope I can be with him in heaven someday Sincerely, Leon Schmidt
