Cook
James O. "Jim"
Unexpectedly, on March 22, 2024. Jim was devoted to the late Antoinette "Toni" DiLonardo for over 52 years. They were longtime residents of Penn Hills and even after her passing, he kept the memory of her alive by sharing stories and fond memories of her with Pete at his weekly visit. Jim is survived by nephews, nieces Linda Schlegel, Janet DiLonardo, and Cathy (Pete) Cartwright, and Toni's sister, Lena DiLonardo. Jim enjoyed being outside in his yard and spending time in the garden. He was a quiet man who kept to himself. To honor his wishes, arrangements private and entrusted to Soxman Funeral Homes, Ltd.
