Mary Jo, Alex & Zac,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Jim's passing. We had lost touch over the last few years, but Jim was not one who faded much in my memory! I will always recall with a smile the time I was blessed to have been able to spend with him on the baseball field, which we enjoyed so much and which brought so many of us together. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

Mary Jo, Alex Zac,
We were so sadden to here of Jim's passing. He was such a happy, carefree and passionate man who loved life and lived it to the fullest. I can always remember his days of coaching the boys in baseball and basketball so many years ago. He enjoyed teaching them without trying to live his life through them. May god be with you and your wonderful sons. Jim will be watching with pride and eternal love

I am so sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. He was a great person and really knew how to enjoy life. I’ll miss him a lot. He is the one person I know who really lived with passion. I loved listening to him talk, he had the best stories and always had jokes ready to go. Whenever I joined league night I looked to get paired up with Jim because I enjoyed his company so much. I’ll miss his laugh, positive outlook and friendship.
I will cherish the memories, like the first time I played golf with him. He had a set of banged up clubs. When I asking what happened to them, he said they had fallen off his motorcycle as he was driving down I-91. I can just picture him stopping and picking them off the road…. only Jim. I recall helping him give the Porsche a running push start when I met you for the first time, and being there for his 40th and 50th birthday parties. The memories make me smile, just as his company always did.
I know you have so many happy memories, may those memories bring you comfort in your times of deepest sorrow.

Jim was a wonderful man, who always went out of his way to say hello and chat whenever we saw him. He had a sparkle in his eye and a smile on his face every time. Jim always had a funny little story to share about his family whom he loved very deeply. May those warm family memories bring you comfort and peace in the days ahead. Our condolences and prayers to your family.

When I think of my buddy Jim, I just smile. Scott
