Not sure what to say?

I’m so sorry to find this, and almost a year after his passing. I worked with Jim at GAB in Evergreen Park in the late 1980s. He was my supervisor for a few of those years and always ready to answer questions from a “cubby adjuster” as he and John Wall called me. I’d know his smile anywhere and it was ever-present to anyone who knew him. I have a photo of my wife and I with our 1 year old (now 32 year old) son on my shoulders at a picnic at Jim’s home in Homewood. I haven’t seen him in...

Thoughts and prayers for family and friends. The knowledge the stories were always priceless. Rest in peace my friend there is no doubt you were expedited quickly!

I worked with Jim a long time ago. He was such a great guy and loved volunteering for the fire department. My thoughts & prayers are with his family and friends.

You have touched so many Jim, with a full, well-lived life of service. You are welcomed home.
