I wish he was there to go talk to. The last time I saw him he signed the copy of my daughter's records and then other priests came and we all moved but he was so kind and a good person to talk to if you are having a bad day.

Jim, there is not a day goes by I don't think of you!! I truly loved you!! You were the kindest man to everyone and the children of the school lived you as well. You will live on in our hearts and memories. I will always have your precious thoughts in the book you wrote as well. I am happier than I think I am

He was so very nice to me and replaced my daughter's baptism records after her father kept the originals. I will always remember that day and him giving me things would work out.

Karen and I will remember Jim as a unique soul with many remarkable traits. He was a very intelligent and positive priest who challenged all of us to become our best selves. We were able to Fr. Jim's landlord for his last few years of his life. Great stories, that we will never forget. He treated us as his special family, which we will cherish forever.

Fr. Jim was an associate priest at St. Paul's in Owosso in the late 60's. He became a very close friend of my family. We all have wonderful memories. He chose the right profession, helping many people with his kind and God-loving ways. Our condolences go out to his family and friends. May his beautiful soul rest in peace.
