My deepest condolences for the lose of Jim. We haven't seen one one other since are years in college. We became friends in Recreation Wrestling and and baseball. We spent alot of times making memories fishing, hanging out and getting into mischief in those summers growing up. He was with me the day I got stitches in my knee the summer I jumped off Chadwick Beach Island bridge. Even though I lost a friend for the time being. His memory will always be apart of me. God bless you and take care buddy.

I was completely in shock when I heard the news of Jims' death. He was a great man and a wonderful boss. Always had a witty sense of humor. Always joking around but had his serious side too. He will be missed terribly. Im glad I had the opportunity of having you as a boss. I will not cry because you are gone but I will smile cause I had the opportunity to have met you. Rest in Peace...
