Dear Cathy, Cass and the rest of the family....

I was so sad to hear of Jim's passing. Yes, I may have only been blessed to see him once a year on the Friday after Thanksgiving at Festival of Trees, HE certain left a lasting impression! He had an amazing work ethic that I saw he passed down to his daughter Cathy. His little jokes and smile will always be something I remember. Jim, thank you for spending so many "Black Fridays" with your friends at Kennedy Krieger. Wishing peace and...

So sorry to hear about Unkle Jimmy. He was a wonderful man that could fix anything. Alot of memories growing up. He will be missed my many. Prayers for Aunt Cass, Cathy, Jane & Jimmy and their families. He has the Schreiner Crew welcoming committee waiting for him.

Cass, Cathy, Jane and Jim,
Sorry for your loss. Jimmy was a very kind, thoughtful and loving person. Even though we didn’t stay in contact, I have fond memories of him with Uncle Henry and Aunt Margaret. Our prayers are with you and if we can help let us know.

Uncle Jimmy was the most wonderful godfather. I know he was greeted in Heaven with an incredible homecoming. All my love and prayers are with Aunt Cass, their lovely family, and all of his loved ones.
