Not sure what to say?

Hopeing for an easy Transition: My step-brother, James E. Jacoby (6 months and 19 days older than Me) passed away 30 Dec. He spent 4 years at St. Francis Ceminary, attempting to become Roman Catholic Priest, but was forced to leave due to health reasons. To Jim: "You always wanted to serve your Lord here on Earth....You finally made it. Gods' Blessings to you!" R.I.P. This was my Posting on Facebook.

Jim was a caring person, who always remembered his half sister Claudia. He would call her monthly and every holiday. The two shared a long history of encouraging each other over their lifetime. He will be deeply missed.

I haven't seen Jim for years but I look forward to joining his family tomorrow for the liturgy. A Milwaukee policeman I knewwould praise the gentle of heart by saying "he didn't have a mean bone in his body>" Jim enjoys that bit of praise eternally. RIP John brophy

I was very fortunate to know James during the latter part of his life. He truly cared about others His faith and his sense of humor helped him daily to deal with his everyday struggles.
He shared his poetry with me which I truly enjoyed and gave insight into his joy of life. He would always make me smile and that is what I will always remember.

I remember Jim playing "Priest". He had an altar set up in his bedroom at the apartment he had with his mother, Marge. I also remember going to John and Gert's home for a picnic with the Jacoby's while they were building their home in Menomonee Falls.

Happy memories!
