Jim,

The world is going to miss you.
I miss you.

You and I were buddies for a long time.

Having a shot and a beer will never be the same without you.

I love ya man. Take care.
Catch you on the other side.

Your friend,
Tim, or, as you always called me "Tim the Scientist"

My condolences all of those who cared for Jimmy. I know my father, Mitch, greatly appreciated and cherished his long friendship with Jimmy. Growing up "Big Jimmy" was frequent visitor with my dad on our breakfast and lunch trips, and those were very fond memories. He was a wonderful caring person, and will be deeply missed. All of those who loved and cared for him are in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy to Cindy & Big Jim's family. He was my daughter's favorite customer (Sunrise Restaurant) and WE spent the summer sitting across from Big Jim and Cindy while my husband underwent chemo, too. (I was the lady with the long blonde hair and glasses who was wrapped up in those warm blankies and who always admired the cool sandels you had on!) I always thought that you guys were both so nice and appreciated your devotion to one another. My husband and I had that, too; which...

Dennis, Sorry I cannot attend the funeral of Jim, as I am home with pneumonia. This is a celebration of death that we are sharing. Celebration for me would be thinking back to the old days when we were kids playing acey deucy on the back porch of the bait shop. Please give me a call at 241-6201 or 204-9009.

I am very saddened to see Jim has passed. What a magnetic guy he was...! He just had a way of drawing people to him. He would do anything for his family. Attending birthdays in Newaygo, to entertaining them with his stories. He will be missed.
My thoughts and Prayers are with his grandchildren for they have lost the most.
Love Aunt Lori

Dear Cindy - I was so sad to see that Jimmy passed away. Know how much you cared for him. My thoughts are with you. Pam Garza (Bradenton, FL)

Our sympathies to Jimmy's family. We knew him from Westgate. Jimmy was the kind of guy who lit up the room when he walked in, and brought a smile to your face! He will be deeply missed.

Jimmy, you were a great friend to my whole family and someone who would help any way you could. I dont recall a time in my life that I didnt know you! I will miss your great smile and contagious laugh, no matter how hard things got for you! I am also going to miss my favorite chicken dance partner! The memory I will never forget is the day you danced with me at my wedding! What a sight that was with us being about a foot and a half apart in height. By the end of the dance you were on...

I know Jimmy through his grandson Shane. He was a very nice guy and he always offered to take us to breakfast, he loved his breakfast!! lol he also loved spending time with his family. He will definately be missed by so many! My prayers and thoughts are with the family. I love you guys. Tracy and Olivia.
