I was very sorry to hear of Jim's passing he was one of my coaches when I was in charge of ST Kevin's CYO Baseball and I coached his sons Matt and Mark. My condolences to his family and I will remember him in my prayers

Both families are very sad to hear this news. Had we known we certainly would have paid our respects. Matty Thorn coached baseball for years with Jim and all of our boys were friends my sons Matt & Chris and Frank & Paul Iaffaldano. Spent many vacations together and a lot of good times and memories. Wishing the best to all and again sorry for your loss. Joan Thorn
