Jim was one of the nicest guys in the Immaculate Conception School Class of 1961. His character was formed and well set at an early age.



Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.



May God welcome you into his kingdom.



Semper Fi,

When I sold computers to Municipal Courts throughout Ohio, some of the Courts had Jim represent them as an employee of the Ohio Supreme Court Technology Dept. Jim insured that the hardware, software, training, etc. was bid fairly and correctly. I found Jim to be fair, honest, and always on time!! He will be sorely missed....
