Snapped in the kitchen of his "new" home. Neat and tidy...just like a Marine! Found this in my US Shoe archives.

My condolences a little late I just found out. I worked at Kenner/Juguetrenes with him. Good friend and great memories. Rest in peace my friend.

I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was a co-worker at US Shoe and we stayed in touch even with his forays into Asia and Mexico. He was fun and kind, and a gentleman. He so loved his family. My condolences to all who loved him.

Jim was a great person and friend. Always able to make me smile and laugh when away from work. Will always remember his passion for fashion and the ribbing we gave each other. My deepest condolences to his beloved family. Jim always thought the world of you.

I was a classmate of Jim´s at North College Hill High School. It saddens me to hear of his passing. I haven´t seen him for many years, but I´ve thought of him through the years. Please accept my condolences.
