I'm so sorry for your loss. I knew Jimmy from Elementary School when we used to play hockey late into the cold nights on Long Lake in front of his house, then later in Highschool for the Mustangs. Jimmy was a great goalie and was hard to score on and I had great respect for his abilities. I will always remember our childhood times together and he will be greatly missed.

Tim, Carol-Lynne, and family,
I am so sorry to learn of Jim´s passing. He was always so kind to me in Spanish class, and taking time to explain the intricacies of running the veer as a QB to this younger RB...means so much to me to this day. One of a kind great guy!
Sincerely your friend,
Marty

So very sad to hear of Jim´s passing. The last time we spoke was at our 20th class reunion. I was lucky enough to meet him and his brother Tim at our elementary school Pershing. I remember some really great times there. I brought a show and tell toy that if you slapped down on the head it would move the leg to kick a football. I joked with him at high school football practice that I was responsible for his love for kicking Feild goals.
May you rest in peace Jim, and may your family find peace after your passing.
