Jim, I didn't think I would ever have to imagine a world with out you in it. Since the first day I met you on the Chicago Ave Bus, coming home from Cathedral; I've always drawn strength from knowing you. As everyone has said your thoughtful and considerate personality touched us all.
I will miss you greatly. Love Tiny

My husband, Joe Planos, had
The pleasure of working with
Jim on the Evanston Fire
Department. Joe always said
That Jim was a good fireman and enjoyed working with him.
Everyone liked Jim and he had
A great sense of humor. Somewhere in heaven
He will be united with all the fire fighters that are serving The Lord. My best to the family.

Jim, I never imagined that you would not be around. I regret not knowing that you were ill, and keeping in touch. What everyone is saying is true, You were thoughtful and helpful to every one. I'll never forget the day I met you on Chicago Ave bus, coming home from Cathedral High School. You saved me from getting beat up by those girls from the reform school. I can't remember the name of the school but they tried to keep them off the regular CTA.
I drew strenght just form knowing you.
I will miss you always, Love Tiny

My sincerest condolences are offered to Jim's family.

Jimmy was the most selfless man I knew. He would do anything for anyone. He called me a few months back to see if Alexis was OK. She called him almost daily to check on him and he was worried about HER. He put everyone else first. He will be missed by so many. He truly was the best of the best!!! Love you Jimmy. xoxo
