Our sincere sympathy to the family. I got to know Jim while my children attended the high school and as I sat on School Board. Jim always had a pleasant personalty and big smile. In recent years I would see him at McDonald's with Kathy as I was having lunch with my father-in-law,John. They lived in the same neighborhood. Jim, you will be missed.

Jim was a very special man. It was also a brighter day when he gave me a smile and a good morning at the school. I loved talking to him at McDonalds. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. -Randy and Leslye Blackwell

Thoughts & Prayers to the whole family. Got the pleasure to know Jim at the high school with my father working with him & going there as a student from 1994-1998. No matter what kind of day you or he was having, Jim was always in the hallway to meet you with a smile and that always made my day. Being there as a student as well as a worker of PCTV

My condolences to Jim's family.
I worked with Jim at Pottstown High School and he was one of the finest men I every knew. He was kind, funny and always ready to help.
Jim was totally devoted to his family - esp his wife
One of the funniest stories he ever told me - it was his anniversay and I asked him what he was doing for his wife - he told me "I'm taking her out to dinner" when I asked where - he told me "to Burger King -and I am getting her a window seat and fries"
my husband and I still talk about that all the time
He also always amazed me with his carrots - that he needed to have if I called him to clean up after someone would throw-up in the health room
The world is a much better place for those of us who had the pleasure to see it with Jim's help
