Not sure what to say?

We have known Jim for so many years, as a neighbor and a friend...our kids went to school together, and after his retirement, we could always see him sitting outside his house, ready with a smile, a wave, or a friendly word whenever we would stop to visit. He was a great man, a proud veteran, and a loving father and husband. We offer condolences to Melodi and all his family...we wish them God's comfort and peace, and our quiet little neighborhood will not be the same without him...may God...

I will always and respectfully refer to Jim as Mr. Kurzweil. He was a hard working guy that loved his family, friends and neighbors. He opened his home to me like I was one of his own kids. We played at his house, with never a worry or fear morning noon and night. Back in the days when you could ride in the back of pickup trucks, we rode in the back of his every summer as he always made life fun for us. He showed us how to fix engines, breaks, motorcycles, whatever it was, he was making...

So sorry to hear about Jimmy. I have many memories of him and his family. Aunt Irene was my godmother too. Heaven has gained a new angel.

We are so sorry to hear of Jims passing, he truly was a good family man, and would take in anyone else that also needed a family, I dont believe the word (NO) was in this mans vocabulary. To the love of his life his wife Melodi May you know he loved you to the moon and back a few dozen times, to his children and all his grandchildren you know what a wonderful man he was. R.I.P. Mr. Kurzweil.
