Not sure what to say?

Jimmy, we had some times. May we all rest in peace. Memories!

I´m very sorry to hear of Jim´s passing. I knew him well when we were back in our twenties. I will never forget his smile, compassion, and talent.

Sorry to read of your passing. Knew your family from Westchester out and abouts. May God richly bless your family going forward. John Freeman

Chuck, Thank you for posting this photo of Jimmy at Westchester High. Such a nice memory.

Here's a photo with me, Jim and Steve Strausburger on the Senior Lawn, Westchester High School. 1971

I just came upon Jim's obituary and I am deeply saddened. I met Jim when we were 17 and attending Winchester High School. JImmy and I were close friends and pool-shooting partners along with Jim's neighbor Steve Straussburger. I fell out of touch with Jim a few years ago but I never forgot our wild times as pals. See you upstairs old friend.........

My grandpa will always live on in the hearts of those who loved him most. I will never forget his hearty laugh or his sense of humor. He helped to shape me into the person I am today and I am lucky to have been a part of his life and for him to have been a part of mine.

I have known Jim for many years. I own Tower Pizza and Jim was a regular customer. When the pandemic hit, Jim being the compassionate person that he was immediately reached out to me and donated his stimulus check to help us provide meals to people in need. I will always remember him for his big smile , his friendly personality and our conversations about sports.
Rest In Peace Good Buddy

Ashes at Sea October 24, 2020

It has been 30 days now without you my love. We had a beautiful ceremony with family aboard a private yacht for the scattering of ashes at sea in the Huntington Beach Harbor, then a lovely Celebration of Life ceremony at the Huntington Beach Hyatt Regency with those you loved and those that loved you dearly. I miss you so much my Honey Bunny!!
