Rest in peace Uncle Jim, my condolences to your family your grandchildren your wife. I've known you since I was a little girl with my grandfather used to work next to you and I used to come to your job. You was there when I had my first born. You came to visit me when I came home. You will forever be part of my family and my heart and in my soul. I wish you were still here I have somebody for you to meet. But I know that you have already met my son in spirit. That you are watching upon all of us, and smiling and asking us not to cry but to be joyful and live our life to the best of our ability like you did. I love you Uncle Jim until we meet again.

I worked with Jim at WTC for many years. Always admired his work ethic and the way he treated everyone. Condolences to his family. He was a good man.
