Mary Jo, Alex & Zac,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Jim's passing. We had lost touch over the last few years, but Jim was not one who faded much in my memory! I will always recall with a smile the time I was blessed to have been able to spend with him on the baseball field, which we enjoyed so much and which brought so many of us together. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

Mary Jo, Alex Zac,
We were so sadden to here of Jim's passing. He was such a happy, carefree and passionate man who loved life and lived it to the fullest. I can always remember his days of coaching the boys in baseball and basketball so many years ago. He enjoyed teaching them without trying to live his life through them. May god be with you and your wonderful sons. Jim will be watching with pride and eternal love
