Jim is part of many memories from our years at Immaculate Conception and also dances at the Allentown Y (The Hub). He surprised our family years later when Santa showed up at our door during the Christmas season. Many thanks Jim!
My prayers and deepest sympathy to the Susko family.

Had a lot of great times with Jim and the gang back then. Remember the night we ended up in the Little Lehigh at Robin hood hill at 2:30 in the morning with the toboggin sled after a night playing racket ball at the YMCA and partying at the Ale House. You,ll be missed.

To the Susco Family,
Jim was a classmate of our brother Steve.They continued their friendship into their 20's being a part of the same social circle. Jim was a welcomed guest in our home throughout the 70's.
Steve tragically died in 1980.This loss didn't prevent Jim from continuing his relationship with our family.He attended my father's funeral in 1984 and for many years after sent my mother greetings and updates with pictures of your family.That connection was comforting to my mother and our entire family. Our heartfelt condolences.
The Helm family

I've known Jim since 1978. I rented my 1st apartment and Jim lived above me. We quickly became friends. Jim was very easy-going and easy to get along with. Jim was always the 1 with the stories. He'd often say," ....to make a long story short ". And me and our friend Tim would say," no! You mean to make a long story longer"! We'd laugh and tease him. There were times when we could always count on Jim & Annette to host holiday picnics and get togethers.. Those were good days. I'll dearly miss him!!
