Chris and I are very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. We always enjoyed the time we spent with you two and our Breachway gang. I also have very fond memories of Jim taking me to his crabbing spot and "swearing to keep the secret for life" . Dolores, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family,

Always respected Jimmy growing up as a project kid. He gave me some great advice which I still live by today. I feel sad knowing he is gone. It was great reconnecting again in Oct 2011 after all those lost years during all that snow we still had the reunion. To the entire Liguori family, especially cousin Delores we share in your loss and are better for knowing such a fine man in Jimmy. God Bless ya'll may we find in our faith what God has shared with us in our beliefs. RIP Jimmy, dear friend.

Dolores and family,
So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. How lucky you were to have such a long life together. I hope this empty spot in your heart will be filled with those cherished memories of your life together. So glad we were able to see you when we reunited in 2011.
