So sorry that another year has passed without my cousin, Jim.
Never got to say goodbye. He will always be in my prayers.

My first memory of my Mom's cousin James was when he used to come to visit our family and my Grandmother when we lived in River Vale. I was always interested to see how he was handling the kids he used to teach.(Being one myself at that time). I miss my family and I am sorry for Carol's loss of Jim as they had such a grand time together playing sports and traveling. Love, Dawn

Was very surprised to hear about James's passing and I definitely would have been there to pay my respects. Jim was a very nice and very smart cousin of my Mom, Glady. She used to tell lovely stories about growing up. We went to visit Jim and Carol the last time she was visiting NJ and had a lovely time with Jim, his Dad, and Carol. I value and treasure my family, as there are so few of us left.

I'm so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. He was a very sweet guy and totally devoted to his Mom and Dad and his lovely wife, Carol. Wish I had known about this earlier. I would have been there in attendance out of respect for my family.
