Aunt Judy, Kim, Chris, & Todd,
My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all.
My memories are so fond of Uncle Jim. He always had stories and jokes to share. Even if the joke went over my head, his laugh made me laugh. I only regret not seeing more of him. I can imagine all those that knew him will miss his spirit. May his memory and spirit live with us forever and may he Rest In Peace.
Lots of love
Cheryl

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Jim at the Kitchens & Bath Store. He was the Project manager on my bathroom renovation and was very gifted and helpful in designing my bathroom. We spoke on several occasions and he was always very cheerful and a delight to work with. Rest In Peace, Mr. Jim.

We were very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He gave me a second career, and we both relished the challenges of kitchen/bath design. During our many conversations, I found that Jim and I both enjoyed Brazilian music. We laughed and agreed that's not a shared interest one comes across very often today, especially not for a couple of old contemporaries who grew up in the fifties. He was a good man.
