James F. "Jim" Gildea

Jim was a good person. My family and I will miss him and we will always remember his sense of humor. There are numerous "Gildeaisms" that I can not discuss but many of his friends will continue to laugh out loud for the rest of our lives.... Thanks, Jimmy. RIP
Bill Tritsch and Family

So sorry to hear this sad news. Even though we weren't close I remember his smile. Grateful he came to my Mom's party. We are family no matter what.

My deepest sympathy to Mary and his sons. Jim was a blessing during the short time through our nursing school days. He pulled us through it when all that we wanted to do was quit. May his soul forever rest in peace.
