Not sure what to say?

We just saw this and were much saddened to read of Jim's passing - we got to know him and wife many years ago and I remember his garden and how awesome it was! Our prayers are with you all.

A terrific guy. Could tell the greatest stories and had the greatest laugh. He would laugh hardest at his own jokes. Always came off as being one of the guys and like he was a member of your family. He will be sorely missed. My condolences to the members of his family.

Although I didn’t know Jim for a long period, I knew instintly we would get along. He was a gracious and kind man. Whenever I was traveling I always talked to Jim before hand. The man went everywhere! I will miss our discussions about family and our spouses. Jim honestly had a story for everything. I will remember Jim with a smile on my face. My sincere condolences to his family.

Your beloved Jim will live on through recalling his exceptional stories. May your treasured memories bring you comfort at this most difficult time. Our deepest condolences, Diane & Don Cozzi

I'm sorry to hear about Jim's passing. He was a great guy and always real funny. My Dad and Jim met at Vulcan in Palatine in 1969, then worked at MSC and Meyer together till Jim retired. They were great friends for nearly 50 years. I still have a photo of Jim, my Dad, and myself as a baby in Jim's MSC truck pouring some work at our old house in the city. My Dad never had a bad thing to say about him and he could always be counted on as a friend, he will be missed.

The Men's Fellowship Retreat participants send their deepest sympathy for your loss. We are dedicating all prayers this Father's Day weekend to his memory. He will be greatly missed.
