Jim will be missed. When I first started in the Athletic Dept. of Upper Merion HS I was introduced to him and from there we became friends. He was always happy and so funny. When he saw me outside of work I always got the biggest hug. He was a gentle giant. RIP my friend.

Having taught most of the Corliss boys, I was always happy to have the support of their caring parents Patti and "Big Jim". When the Corliss Family moved to Bridgeport, we became more friendly and my husband Attilio, and I were invited to parties at their home where the food and fun were always plentiful! Til and I were always happy to see Big Jim drive by and talk to "Pop" as Jim called Til. My sons also attended school with the boys and were impressed with their prowess in Sports.
Jim loved his wife, children, and grandchildren and I know he will be sadly missed. May he rest in peace in the arms of God's Angels.
