Jaime lived across the street from me growing up on Hague Avenue. I was the only girl on the street, so ï played with the Johnson, the Trimmers, and the Stantons. Jamie (aka Snake) Jeff, and I waited for the bus at his driveway. He was on his CB in communication with the bus driver, so he knew when to walk out to the busstop. I miss you Jamie. Your life was too short. Love to Carol, Marcella, Jeff and the boys. RIP Snake

I'm so sorry to hear about this--and to have missed services. Jamie was full of life! His smile, his willingness to act silly in order to make others laugh, and that he made each of us feel important are the things that stick out in my mind. Deepest sympathies. He will be missed.

I never met Jamie in person, but I talked to him regularly at Exide. He had that distinct deep voice and I knew it was him as soon as he spoke. Jamie was always friendly and a pleasure to work with. His co-workers thought very highly of him. This is just so sad. My condolences to the family.

Dearest Marcella, Jeff, Carol and kids. I was so sorry to hear about one of my kids, neighbor and friend Jamie. There are so many fond memories living next door but most of all as one of the little boys I babysat for so many years. Words cannot console during a loss especially one so young. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
