James Franklin Kaserman

I originally left a condolence on October 23, 2013 and I see this announcement year after year and think of Jim and the time that has gone by and yet the memories of him are still in my mind. I signed as Jack and Jean back then but Jean joined Jim in heaven back in December of 2023. I am ninety one now and closer to ninety two and gave up softball, where I met Jim, long ago. His memory is still in my mind and I still remember him well.

He was the first person I talked to about the senior softball league and he encouraged me to join. He also gave my wife a signed copy of his book, Gasparilla, Pirate Genius.
He knew she liked pirate stories and gave it to her to read on a cruise we were taking.

I went to Harvey and Washington High school with Jim. We played Hi-y basketball together. He was a great person and will be missed by many. RIP Jim and God bless you and your family.

Sorry to hear of Mr Kaserman's passing. Prayers to you and the family.

I knew Jim for a long time during his career at High Tech North. We also attended meetings together and became good friends. I introduced my son-in-law to Jim with the hopes of perhaps making a movie or a series of movies of Jim and Sara Jane's book "Tales From Christmas Trains". You just never expect someone as "Rich" as Jim in all his endeavors to pass away at such a young age! Jim is someone I will always remember! I will miss him very much. I am richer for having known him! Thank you, Jim!

RIP Mr K. The world is a better place for you having been in it.

I played senior softball in Cape Coral with Jim and found him to be a wonderful person, an ardent player and all around good friend to all. I'm sorry for your loss and our heart and prayers go out to the family.

Jack and Jean Lewis

To the Kaserman Family, So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I first got to know Jim in the summer of 1965 when his family operated the Perkins Restaurant across from the main gate at Kent State University (East Main and College Ave.) Then we came to New Phila there he was in the railroad car ice cream diner adjacent to Miracle Lane Shopping Center.
