Even though we weren't of blood relation, he always was, and will be, known to me as Grandpa Jim. He was the most amazing person I have ever met. When Jim and Nana (Marilyn, my grandmother)got married, I didn't really want to get to know him at all; I was still getting over her most recent divorce. Nana kept trying to get me to at least talk to him over the phone, but I kept making up excuses not to; I just wasn't ready yet. After almost a year after their marriage, i finally decided to meet...

Jim and I spent many great hours together in high school with Ron Munter and Eben McKendrick. Sports were important to us especially when we had hard apple cider to drink on the bus trip back from a football game.
We would pool our change to buy a few gallons of gas to cruise around in my 39 Plymouth. Those were great days with a great friend.

THROUGH THE YEARS
Through the years, you've been my inspiration.
For, however I may feel about my life, my shortcomings, my failures, as well as my successes, none of these even come close to how much you sacrificed for us.
Relentlessly working, at times 3 jobs at once, to keep our family together.
Up at 4:30 am, then running along the cliffs, breathing in not only the cold ocean moisture in the air, but the loneliness, and...

The smile on his face was wide and accepting. It lit up the room like a Christmas tree. His manner was never overbearing, rather , polite and humble. You wanted to shake his hand or hug him. His compassion was in his sweet words and thoughtful ways of telling stories. He gave credit to all, never judging, extending his charity to all who needed it. He was a special, wonderful man. I am blessed that he loved me.

My brother Jim was an amazing person he had many health issues in his life but he never let them get in the way of his love of life. I will always remember the great times Jim, Dean and I had, hunting, fishing and our shared love of golf. We had many parties and picnic's which always included a good song. I will always remember his smiling face and good humor. Our family misses him very much. God's Peace Brother, until we meet again. Love, Shorty

I knew Jim for over 65 years and when I married his brother Wendell ( over 63 years ago) I also not only had a brother in law I had a brother and Jim had a sister. As an only child I embraced Jim and his brother Dean into my life and our families meshed into one. Jim's death has left a great void in my life. Until we are all together again, God Bless.
