I was hired by Jim & worked 3 summers with him. He was a great boss, so funny, and what a big booster of Brakette softball. I look back on that job with a smile on my face. My condolences

Paulette and family. We are so very sorry to hear of Jim´s passing. As we have been neighbors for almost 28 years I will always remember seeing Jim driving in his truck with a smile and a wave. He will be missed terribly. Know you are in our prayers. May his memory be eternal.

Jim was one of my favorite clients when I worked in Stratford. Every time he would call or come into the office, he would always make me laugh - especially when he would walk in chewing on a fresh cut piece of grass! His smile and personality were infections. My heart goes out to his family and may God help walk you through the journey of grief, but know he is still here with you in spirit.

Jim leaves behind a treasured legacy of integrity, caring, respect and trust. His family was his greatest source of pride and joy. my greatest memory of Jim will always be his smile and face of contentment as he joined Ryan at the Alter of St. Catherine´s as his confirmation sponsor. it resonated with me as I was the sponsor for my grandson Nicholas. a great man taken from us too soon. Rest in peace my friend. I pray for your soul and your family as they face this journey of grieving.
