Carol,
Although I never had the pleasure of knowing your wonderful brother, I felt as if I knew him through all the special things Genny had to say about him. I met Brandon and I know how special his was to Jim and Domenic.
Jim knew in his heart that Brandon will be deeply loved and taken care of.
I am so sorry for your loss and will keep Jim in my prayers. Sincerely,
Sally Durso

KJF-so very sorry your struggle came to an end so soon. We were wishing you many more happy years of retirement, especially at the beach.Had a lot of laughs and good times, and appreciated your support so much when I was sick.And to your family, we will always miss him as one of the post office "survivors". At least he had a few good years to enjoy after he left. Our sympathies to you all. BooBoo and the Rat

Jim's family,
Sorry for your loss. Jim cut my hair when I was young. He was always so nice. Once when my mother tried trimming my bangs we ended up having Jim fix it. He felt so bad that he had to cut so short and put sparkles in my hair to stop me from crying. That was almost 50yrs ago and I still remember his kindness
