Not sure what to say?

I was saddened to learn that Jim passed away. We were co-workers at Xerox / EDS for many years. Always good for a smile or laugh. Feel lucky to have known him. He will be missed. My sympathies to all who knew him.

It is sad news, to hear about Jim’s passing. It is a great loss for his family, friends and the community. My heartfelt sympathy to Jim’s family for their loss love one.

You see, Jim had a sense of humor that attracted friendship. You could not help but like the guy, whether you were laughing about the Bills or discussing work. You just enjoyed the time that you spent with him and always that contagious smile.

Wow! What fond memories of Jim & 801. Thanks Jim for sharing...

This world has lost a true gentleman. Jim will be sadly missed and fondly remembered. Our thoughts and prayers are with Andrea and the rest of Jim's family.

I was deeply saddend to learn that Jim passed away. We were co-workers at Xerox, team mates on the ballfield and had fun times in the mixed couples bowling league. Jim was a fun loving person and I am truly fortunate to have known and been friends with him. He was very much a family man. My heart goes out to both Andrea and Jims' children at this sad time.

One terrific guy and fun loving friend. I will always have so many great memories to keep with me.

Our family's thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

I'll remember Jim's real passions next to his family and Bills, his lawn and Christmas decorations! Even when we moved we would drive by at Christmas to see the new year's additions.

I had the honor of knowing Jim and competing against him at softball and golf. I will forever remember how his fun-loving personality came through regardless of who won or lost.

He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word and heaven just got quite a bit brighter by bringing him home.

I first met Jim when I joined Xerox in 1984 and we became friends instantly in spite of our 23-year age difference. Over the years we enjoyed many things together (golf, softball, computer football, Fantasy football, and about 150 trips to Orchard park for Buffalo Bills games). Jim was always enthusiastic and cheerful, and always had kind things to say. Simply put, he made you feel good when he was with you. He spoke fondly of his family, and reminisced about his overseas trips with Andrea...

As a fellow Xerox employee, I will always remember laughing with Jim and talking about the Bills. He was just a wonderful person. My sincere condolences for his loss.
