Jim was a great guy! He was wonderful to my now deceased cousin, Mary Frank and I am sorry I didn't know he passed away. I certainly would have attended his service. Rest in Peace Jim

Very fond memories of Jim on Broad St. In fact I was leaving for the convent in 1967 and my brother and members of South Philly String Band came down our small street to serenade me. My mother was making meatballs to feed the band. It was a very special day. My prayers are with the family.

I first met Jim when I worked at Food Fair and he was a truck driver for them, We talked a lot back then. I bought all my Show of Shows tickets from him. The lst time I saw him was on Broad St. in front of Hahneman Hospital and I took m,y son out to meet him. It was a big day for my son. A fine man.
