I have known Jim and his family my whole life. ( 51 Years) As I reflect on the passing of Jim, I know he is in a better place. I will always remember Jim as my best fried Joe's big brother. Jim was larger than life and I remember many adventures with Jim and Joe from fishing in the early mornings, to visits in Cascade. His memory will always be in my heart.

I also was a classmate of Jim. We had many classes together during our four years at Mission San Jose High School and became really good friends. I could always count on Jim to make me laugh. He was a wonderful, loveable, and very funny individual. My prayers and deepest sympathies go out to his family.

Jim was my childhood friend and I have such fond memories of him. He was funny, charming, generous and kind and made a difference in my life at a time when I needed it most. I want to extend my deepest sympathies to all his loved ones. Jim's life mattered to me and he won't be forgotten.

My heart goes out to the Fontes family whom I have known for many, many years since our husbands were in Toastmasters when our children were young. Jim was so lucky to have wonderful support from his family and his dear wife Carrie. I pray that they can soon remember only the good times..the sweet memories that will last forever. May Jim rest in peace and may his family find peace in knowing that Jim is in good hands now and without pain and suffering..
