Not sure what to say?

I think of Jim almost every day. And it is with a smile. When he came out to visit, we hiked and walked a lot. He was like a Brother and I miss him very much. So when I go for my walks, it brings back so many wonderful memories.

So sorry for your loss. He was so nice and so humble. My brother said he was so instrumental to the farming community. I wish I had gotten to talk to him about his experiences. I can only think that him and Bonnie are catching up.

I was so sorry to read of Jim's passing. He was such a nice guy. Condolences to the whole family, you're in my thoughts and prayers.

For all the Comunale family, Carmon and I just got back from our granddaughter Emery eighth grade baccalaureate mass and on to graduation tonight. I could not help but have Jim in my mind as he is being buried today. I have so many good memories of our visits with Jim both there and here in the west. My one memory was making Jim and Carmon take me to TJ Maxx in Stroudsburg. I just told them both to keep walking around the whole store until I finished shopping, I enjoyed him so much and he...

Dave, Dawn and families, so sorry to hear of your brothers passing. You are definitely in our thoughts and prayers! God Bless you all!

To the family of Jim, I´m saddened to read of Jim´s passing. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

"A Vietnam Veteran has passed away today." James, you are now relieved from your post. A job well done fellow war veteran. The final battle is now over and peace has been restored. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom and democracy. The final bugle has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Farewell fellow war veteran. A Vietnam Veteran.
