We were neighbors with Jim and Sharon for many years. When we first moved to Roxbury, they came bearing gifts to welcome us to the neighborhood. Over the years, Jim's kindness and warm spirit was always close by and he was always so good to our family. We will always remember his thoughtful nature & smile. He would always listen & would be there to help if he could. We send our love to Sharon and his other family members during this difficult time. Jim was simply a wonderful person & he will always be missed.
