I met Jimmy through my brother Greg and his friends Bob and Gary Godek and Mike Zajchowski. We went on camping trips, to the Cape, and hung out on Saturday nights watching Saturday Night Live. Nelly Klimczak was my best friend growing up since we lived one street away. When I was a nursing student I helped deliver Mary and Jim's first baby Natasha! Life brings us together in different ways and we must cherish those. My best to Jim's children and Mary at this difficult time. God bless you.

I remember Jimmy from when he was part of a group of friends and cousins that that I used to hang out with. He wentbto school with my cousin Bob. He was a wonderful guy. I used to ride on the back of his motorcyle to different places that the gang used to go to like the beach and concerts. My condolances go out to his family.

I offer my deepest sympathy to the members of the family that Jim leaves behind. It saddens me greatly to learn of his passing at such an early age. I remember when he became a colleague at what was then Combustion Engineering, before it had several changes in corporate ownership until it became part of GE. He was a very likeable young man, quiet and unassuming, and I quickly considered him to be a friend as well as a colleague who would eventually go on to share several years of working...
