Jim Leith

So sorry. Just learned of Jim's passing today. He was a good man, one whom I respected very much. We met in church at St. Malachy's. He encouraged me to participate in the services at that lovely old church, an welcomed me as if we had known one another for years. Several years later, he moved into my neighborhood in Ardmore. Imagine my surprise! My children and I would stop and talk with Jim and Dorothy. They were like surrogate grandparents to my children. I will never forget this kind, decent man, and I mourn his passing.

Jim Leith - Our friend who became family.
From North Catholic, Port Richmond to Ardmore. Jim caught the bouquet. at our wedding & threw it forward to Loretta.
He was the lead man at G&L construction. The Grimm Swimm still stands sturdy with its 3rd liner. Sooo many happy memories of vacations, barbecues , Kentucky Derby, New Years Eve parties.
We all hated growing old with its limits & illness. We. Will miss Jim always. But at last he is pain free. We love you,Jim.

Saturday afternoon at Baltimore's Cross Street Market, James C was beloved by all patrons.

The aforementioned Almarco pizza maker plying his wares in Bolton Landing, NY!!

You are at peace but you will be greatly missed by me, Traci, Michael and Natalie.

You were such a great father and grandfather that you will live in all of us forever.

I will try to measure up to the example you set as a man.

Love you dad. Mike

So sorry. Jim was a wonderful man. We were friends at North during school and after graduation. There were some fun times playing ball at Cohocksink. Our lives took different paths, but about a decade ago Jim joined our SOPs at Byrnes for story telling with his Cohox friends of yesterday.We will miss Jimmy's laughter and friendship.

Mr Leith was such a great man. Kind, generous and full of knowledge. I loved talking sports with him and his kids. He was such a devoted father and husband.
What he and his beautiful wife did raising those 4 wonderful children who are all very very succesful was amazing. He was, I am sure so proud of his kids and grand children. He had the perfect job because of his great personality and love of his country. God Bless him and prayers to him and his family.
Love, Dugan

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Where to begin, I have so many memories of my cousin Jim growing up with him and his brothers when we would visit on the holidays on Indiana Avenue. Christmas was always the best for all the cousins at the Leith house with a visit from Santa Claus after dinner. When I got my first job at Wanamaker´s department store at 13th and Market , it was on Jim´s route as a mailman and he would stop in to say hello. I loved his visits there. He always liked my dad (his Uncle Frank) a lot and the feeling was mutual.
Rest in peace Jimmy, I love you, your cousin ,Noreen Flanagan Wilder
