Dear Little Brother Jimmy,
I can’t believe that you are gone . . . I will sure miss your fun pranks and contagious laugh, especially at the family reunions. It’s times like these, that make me think hard about what I miss out on by living here in California.
James and Heather if there is anything at all that uncle Brian can do for you, please ask. (559) 313-8236

There are not enough words to express what a wonderful man he was and the many lives he touched in his time. He will truly be missed.

To the Starcher Family ----
I am so sorry to hear about your family loss, I had the pleasure of knowing "Jimmey Starcher" when the pool room was located on Arlington Road, when Ms. Starcher was there & working in the kitchen, that was the good "old" days, she would always make sure people had a 'Thanksgiving Dinner", I played alot of pool with Jimmey during the tournaments held on certain nights.
One thing about "Jimmey" he seemed to always have something funny to laugh about, and also making others laugh at the same time.
May "God Bless" and keep you during this time of sadness---

Jim was a good friend, loving father, and dedicated pool player. I just played against him and his team last Weds ( 2-18-09 ). He was just full of life and just like I always remember him.. I met Jimmy back in the early 90's growing up around his families Pool Room on Arlington (Starchers Billiards) all my life I knew his whole family very well.. I used to play Jimmy and his dad ( Bill ) when he was around back in the day .. We were just going down memory lane last week,, I am greatly saddened by his passing.. My heart and prayers go out to his family at this very difficult time.. This is a guy that will be greatly missed...
******Rest in Peace Jimmy******
