I have a lot of great memories with my Uncle Jim. Many, many great Thanksgiving Day dinners, fishing with him and my dad at my parents lake house, fun filled dinners at one of our favorite restaurants (Dick and Pegs) and my 21st birthday dinner boat cruise at Lake George. We spent many Labor Day weekends at my parents lake house with my Aunt Mer and Uncle Jim and they both were there to help me celebrate many birthdays with me. My Dad and my Uncle Jim were the best of friends and truly enjoyed each others company. I hope they are all together now enjoying each others company once again. There are many, many memories that I will never forget.
He had a big heart and a gentle soul and will be missed by many. God Bless Uncle Jim.
Love Dave and Colleen

From the time I was a child I remember waking up on Saturdays and wondering if there was anyone up "next door". I would walk out to the kitchen and find my mother and yours chatting, laughing, and drinking a pot of coffee. Then, I would usually bound over to your home to see if anyone wanted to play. :)
I remember and especially appreciated all the help Uncle Jim would give my mom when she needed it the most. He would cut her grass in the summer or shovel her car out of the driveway in the winter if she hadn't gotten to it yet when all of us had moved out. She (and we) appreciated it so very much. I know he will be missed, but it is so beautiful to have our memories to relive even when our loved ones have passed.

It seems impossible that I can't pick up the phone and call my big brother. I am so grateful that we were able to spend some quality time together in Honeybrook last Sept. He was his good old self and we had so much fun sharing memories. Rest in peace my dear Jimmy. I miss you terribly.

Jim was a really wonderful guy. We graduated together and became better friends after high school. We last saw each other about a year ago with other classmates when we went out to dinner. Jim will be greatly missed.
