Not sure what to say?

I had the great pleasure of being a teammate with Jim and Mike on Bonnie´s 76ers and Villa y Zapata softball teams from the mid 1970´s to the mid 1980´s. So many great times! Win or lose, Jim was always positive and a definite stabilizing force for everyone on the team. A few of the many memorable times spent with Jim was the 1979 championship win over Union Carbide, Jim´s bachelor party and Lenny Barker´s perfect game on May 15, 1981 at Cleveland Municipal Stadium. It was truly an honor...

I was so saddened to hear this news. I remember he was such a kind man and so devoted to you Cindy and the girls growing up. My deepest sympathy and much love to all of you!

What a wonderful tribute to a very wonderful man. Sending love and prayers to Jim´s family and friends.

Had the pleasure of knowing Jim all my Ford life.....Always had time to help you or just chat....If you didn't make it to Heaven my friend, the rest of us don't stand a chance.........Condolences to Cindy and the family

On my daily walk from Hilltop Drive to school at Padua, I would meet Jim at his house on Klusner, and we would walk the remainder of the way together. Jim was a fine companion, and a good person. RIP, Jim

A perfectly written depiction of Jim's life. He truly will be missed. Jim was a great addition to our yearly Pennsylvania camping excursion. Sincere condolences to all that knew him.
