James Albert Calise

Jimmy was a person of many talents -- funny, compasionate, gregarious, easy to get along with, and a culinary master. It was a fun time when Matthew would come visit Jimmy in SIMS, they both are remarkable. Jimmy will be missed; I will miss him.

Jimmy will never gone as he continues to live on in the minds and hearts of the people he touched.
Although I would prefer that he was still with us, I am comforted to think that he is now a guardian angel for his beloved son, Matthew and those near and dear to him. My own memories of our time together are like a precious treasure and I am grateful to have known him and loved him.

I can not express how much Jimmy means to me. I was one of his "Girls" in the SIMS office. He was such a good friend to me and I will miss him so much. Matthew you are awesome just like your Father. Remember he will always be with you and the people that he loved.

I would like to thank all of you for your support through this difficult time in all of my family's lives. Thank you to those who have kept us in their prayers. We appreciate that more than anything in the world. He was a special man and words can't describe my dad. But he's watching me and everyone he loves carefully. Thanks again to all for responding to his death and REMEMBERING JIMMY. I love you dad.

Jill and Matt-
I want to tell you I am so sorry for your loss. Jimmy was an amazing man that always brought joy to those around him. I will miss his humor and generous nature. God be with you at this time

Dear Family,
We were saddened to hear about Jimmy's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Aunt Edith, Charles and All Our Cousins,

We love you. Please know that you've been in our thoughts and prayers. Some of my fondest memories are of the trips to Jax each summer. It was never like being with Daddy's cousins but more like aunts, uncles and cousins. I always thought it would have been wonderful to live closer so we could really have been a part of the "cousins". We certainly lost Jimmy too soon but I know that he's with so many others that we've lost and that helps...

I had the privilege of being Jim's principal at J.E.B. Stuart Jr. High in the 1980s. Jim was an outstanding teacher, person and friend. Though I retired and left Jacksonville, I never forgot the times we shared and the pleasure of his company. He will be missed by all and we will continue to remember what a fine person Jim was.

Jill & Matt, We heard of Matt's father's passing while at the State Thespian Festival. I am so sorry for your loss. Wish we could have been here to attend the funeral. You both are in our hearts and thoughts,
Joanne Stovall & Britni Holtsinger
