I am so sorry to hear of your losses. I have lived near them for over 30 years as a neighbor and friend. I just heard about Jim's fight with cancer today from another neighbor. My heart goes out to you as a family and I will have you all in my prayers. God bless. Carol Robinson

I am sorry to hear of your loss, I lived in Lindenhurst many years and knew your father and mother well. Many years ago I played in the same golf league with your father and brother. My sons grew up and were friends with Jim Jr. We only lived a few blocks away.

I have known Jim since I was 17 and he was 16. He has always had a special place in my heart.
May he rest in peace with Kay and his boys.
