Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to learn of Jim's death. What a shock. Had I known, I would have attended his funeral.
He was a really nice man and a great father. I know him and his son because I worked at the school where his son goes to. He was always a joy to talk to. Funny, smart and interesting. What a great man, what a huge loss. My sympathy to his family, especially Adam. Rest in Peace, Jim.

All my best,

I was so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. He was my cousin, but I rarely saw him. I can see by other comments that he was a fun, happy person raised by a father and mother who had much love for their children and grandchild. I am so sad for young Adam losing both his parents so suddenly. I hope he finds a good home where there is lots of love and support. God bless Adam.

Young Jim, A life gone too soon. I would have liked to have known him better. May he rest in peace.

Hey , Little Jimmie,
How you hated me calling you that when you were out in public! Cuz, you were an important part of my growing up, and I have so many memories from Christmas gift exchanges and summer visits. We made up crazy TV show games--"Voyage to the Bottom of the Suitcase" and we argued about everything. Last time I saw you, you picked my voice out of the air in Sam's club, even after we hadn't seen each other in years! I was quite impressed. My most sincere condolences to...

Pew, as we called him in College, was a heckuva lotta fun and a great roommate. Our Senior year at ESU and Linston, was, shall I say very entertaining. Thanks for the best year in College anyone could have ever asked for. You, Limpy, Geeker, Grubby & Keg - whatta crew we had in that apartment. I'll look back on our memories together with fondness and laughter, because that's the only way I remember you. Thanks for dragging me up to a couple homecoming's too. I'll miss you.

My condolences to Jim's family. It was very sad to hear the news. I got to know Jim approx. 5 years ago and he held his head high through all the difficulties that came his way over the last few months & years. He was a good man with good character. We will miss him and will be praying for God's hand to be upon Adam and the rest of Jim's family.

Jim and I were in the same home room all 4 years in high school. I am very to sorry to hear of his passing and I will always remember him fondly. My prayers go out to his son, Adam and all his family. God Bless you all and God keep Jim.

It was so sad when my mom and dad told me that Jim was in the hospital and even more shocking that it was as bad as it was and then heartbreaking to hear he died. He was a good friend and referee buddy to my dad. I remember when I was a kid and he would be at our house and him and my mom would have their friendly arguments over high school sports. I also remember seeing him at East Stroudsburg homecoming...I was 3 months pregnant and he gave me a big hug and congratulated me and handed me...

I was shocked to hear about Jim. He was the husband to my cousin Priscilla who died in 04. I know Adam will be cared after by his grandfather and hopefully his Aunt or Uncle will be able to become legal guardians and give him a good life. Hard for a child to loose both parents at such a young age. Sorry, I will not be able to attend the funeral service due to work issues. Terry Johnson Medford N.J.
