Not sure what to say?

I worked with Jim at General Steel,he was a good guy to be around,I will surely miss him.

I was incredibly fortunate to have Jim as my boss early in my career. More than just a supervisor, Jim was an extraordinary mentor whose wisdom and encouragement left a lasting imprint on my life. His boundless energy, unwavering positivity, and insightful business guidance shaped not only my professional path but also who I am today. I will always be deeply grateful for the impact he had on me and the many lessons he shared. His legacy lives on in all of us who had the privilege to learn...

Jim was a truly gorgeous man, inside and out. Pam, your pals are here for you and you will be surrounded by our prayers and blessings. Jim will never leave your side. May your memories sustain you and bring you peace.

I was so deeply saddened to learn of Jim's passing. While his many accomplishments were notable, it was the unwavering devotion to his beautiful wife and immense pride in his four children that truly left a lasting impression on me. RIP

So sorry to hear that I worked at the steel company since 2008 still there jim was a great boss

The Day we met we became good friends that shared a lot in common especially talking about Italian community in Cleveland. Loved talking to Jim for hours about Cleveland, politics and general gossip on the Eastside. He could make your day with is humor and smile. I will miss you forever.

My heart is sad today learning about Jim´s passing. I will forever remember our times together in Cleveland. We seemed to instantly bond as cousins, had similar senses of humor and would laugh unabashedly at each of our comments. I always loved his contagious energy and enthusiasm for life. He never seemed to do anything "half-way". Thank you, Jim, for gifting me your friendship and providing me with fond memories. I will forever hold it close to my heart, and will pray for you.

I became acquainted with Jim a few years ago. Absolutely enjoyed his story telling and his obvious love of family! Being a ND fan we enjoyed bantering about the long and storied football history! God bless with prayers and sympathy to the family! Jim Grasso

Put a little roll in your stroll and a little glide in your stride and as my little brother said, he was the coolest.. Great memories. Thoughts and prayers Pam,Nina and family. May we meet again El Jefe.
