I will miss you Uncle Jim. You reminded me so much of my father, Chester. All five brothers were different, as expected, but you and Chet warmed my heart. Tough men with a gentle heart who served not only their country but their families so well. I am honored to have known you as I grew up. My condolences to Madeline, Marvin, Mary,Debbie, Joel and their families. Constance Malach

Dear Marvin, Mary, Cheryl and family, so sad to hear of the passing of your dad. My brother Jody and I have such wonderful memories of time spent at the "Macks" in our youth. I remember rollerskating in West Seneca and was impressed how well your dad did. Also trips to "the Farm". He will be remembered as a very patient man, especially with all those neighborhood kids hanging around your house. He was a saint. Keep beautiful memories in your hearts. He will be in my prayers and so will you.
Sincere sympathy,

You lived a remarkable life, one that inspired all of us. To be sure, you were the quintessential man of your generation, a real man- quiet, determined and strong. You represented determination, hard work and you loved your family. You are truly a role model for us all. Such a wonderful person to know, you were patient and generous with your time and affection. To realize I will never see you again makes my heart ache. My life has been molded by you- the man who held me as a child, bounced me on his knee, let me sit on his motorcycle and share countless hours of conversations and laughs. I have been fortunate to know and love you. I never wanted my last kiss goodbye to be forever, until we meet again, I love you Grandpa, I really really mean it!!!

Lord, please guide the soul of my beloved grandfather home, may his next journey be as fulfilling as the one he shared with us.
