dear miss gills ,

Im very sorry for your loss . please remember that we all loved jim ( he was such a wonderfull person to be around). the times we had shared with him will always be rememberd, and jim will always be with us in our hearts and memories .

I was in Troop 51 with Jimmy. I will always remember his smile and the good times we had with the Fuller Brothers. He was a good friend to all and I believe the world will be a sadder place without him in it.

Ann, Jeanne, Jackie, Linda, John, Joann,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how vibrant a person Jim was and how much you worked to ensure that he lived a full life. So many memories of dinners at your home and Jim being an ever-present force who engaged you in so many ways with his charm and enthusiasm. So many stories about how he was often first to break barriers for people with Down syndrome and pushed the envelope in gaining acceptance and becoming independent - and came up with a...

Dear Mrs. G what can I say that will help ease the pain of your loss. The most important thing is that Jim is now at peace. I also know how many people he has touched in his short life time. Whenever I think of jimmy I see him break-dancing and spinning on his back and how much fun he was. If you ever need to talk just call.
Love Ronnie White

Andrew, Linda & Jackie...
It's probably been 30 years since I saw Jimmy and any of you...He was a true inspiration for all of us...I have memories of him from growing up with the Highland ave crew and from many many years of scouting with him....even thogh it's been such a long period of time, it still feels like losing a brother...he was a great guy to have touched our lives....may he rest in peace...I'm sure he'll join the Fuller twins in heaven for an eternity of of fun and adventure...

Jeanne, My sincere condolences to you and your family on your loss. May all the treasured memories you hold in your heart bring you comfort. Sounds like James led quite a remarkable life. May God's blessings be with you all.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Jimmy was the heart of our basketball and softball teams. We loved his smile, attitude and enthusiasm. Jimmy was always one of the first ones to show up at the field or gym regardless of inclement weather. He was given the nickname "The President" We will all miss him.

I have many memories of Jimmy and the Fuller Brothers in Troop 5. The many Scout shows doing the Native American dances and making authentic native costumes. He was a real good guy, I am sorry to hear of his passing.

Unfortunately I cannot make it to the funeral but I will always hold him fondly in my memories.
