Oh Jimmy, why did you have to leave so soon.
From one friend to another on the Avenue of Woodlawn. The walks to and from Mechanicstown, Veraldi and the high school were priceless. You always brought a smile to my face and gave laughter to my heart.
Middletown just won't be the same without you.
May you rest in peace.

I worked with Jimmy (aka Stewie) at the old Lloyd's Shopping Center during my senior year in high school. It was my 1st job of any kind & I was nervous and didn't know a soul there when I started. He took the time to help train me and helped me feel more at ease. He was a great guy with a good sense of humor and will be missed by all.

My fond memories of Jimmy date back to my babysitting his nephew and riding our horses in the neighborhood together. It was the best of times where the simple pleasures of life were all we knew and shared. Rest in peace, Jimmy.

We grew up from diapers to high school together and shared good times and bad as well. Memories of riding our horses together and Jimmy teaching me to ride a minibike will always be with me, as will you Jimmy. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Jimmy,James,Jimbo,Stew, Stewart,and The Earth shaker, those were some of the names that he was called but he was just Jimmy to me. Jimmy was full of fun and life, but most of all he was full of unconditonal love for his friends and family. He was the dearest friend I ever had. I will love him and miss him always. Sleep in peace my friend.

Jim ( Elroy) since third grade at Mechanicstown with Mrs. Bogart and Mr. Carter you've been fighting the good fight. A true boy-hood friendship that lasted a life time. You will be missed and will always be remembered.
