A tremendous loss. Such a big heart, just like his father. We will miss you Jimmy, and will pray for your arrival in heaven!

The Fowle Family would like to express our deepest condolences to Jim and his family
We are so very sorry to hear of his passing
Having worked with the Gillilan Family for almost 50 years I´ve come to know and love all of them as an extended family
I think Danny Rollins a fellow co- worker at Tommy´s Pizza coined the nickname `Grover´ because Jim made frequent visits to see his girlfriend and future wife Sheila who lived in Grove City
I´ve known Jim since he was about 12 years old so we go way back
He was a funny , very intelligent and skillful!
He loved to reminisce and retell stories about things that happened over the years; some of them spot on with details others with comical embellishments
Placing me in situations that must have involved someone else but always extremely funny
I last saw him when he came to my house a couple of months ago to help with the renovations
We are all very grateful to have known and loved him
Again so sorry for your loss
