Not sure what to say?

Jim and Ann had their first date at my house. We will miss both Jim and Ann. We are living in Florida and can't be there, but send sympathy to Sarah and Jimmy.

Jimmy and Sarah, So sorry to hear that Jim passed away. I met Jim in 1990 at Oxmoor Country Club and played many rounds of golf with him at both OCC and Hunting Creek. Jim was a serious student when it came to chipping and putting as well golf equipment! In the 19th hole Jim shared his opinions on golf, state government, commerce and the healthcare industry. I had the privy of witnessing his hole in one on #6 at OCC! We were both speechless!

Jimmy and Sarah, I was so sorry to see the notice of your dad's passing. I will always remember him and your mom as very kind, unassuming people. I still think of the many fun Friday and Saturday nights we spent at your house when you (and I) were kids. They always supplied us with plenty of pizza (Gatti's, of course!) and soft drinks before they'd leave for their evenings out.

Jim, As you always told folks that we knew in common, "Yea, I know Bogie pretty well, we went through puberty together." Your life will be impactful on generations to come.

Prayers for all of you. Now he is with your mom.
