"Harry" was a funny man who made you smile every day even at 6 a.m My favorite memories of Harry was on Pha-Fridays (I think thats how you spell it) and how excited he would get just to have you join him to eat that toxic stuff he loved so much. I know he loved his family very much as I never met his sons and grandsons but could imagine what they looked like and who they were by all the stories he would share at work.
He was the best boss I ever had and probably ever will have to Harry you will be missed

Big Jim is like a grandpa to me and i will miss him dearly! Theres nothing like a big hearted grumpy comedian!! If u know him u know thats him to a "T"!!! My favorite memories of him were his grumpy jokes of me being a stray dog he can never get rid of! He always said "oooohhhh who let her in again shes like a stray dog if u feed her she keeps comin back " and as im leavin id here everytime lock the doors! And as mean as it sounds it was awesome cause it was open arms everytime i saw him!! I love u grumps and will miss u! And as for the family i love u all! My prayes are with u!!!

"Big Jim", "Grumpy",or "Pops".....Whatever you want to call him, he was one hell of a man that could make me smile on the worst of days. I will miss his smiles and laughter.

Harry was a great guy! He was one of the first people I met when I got to C90. He was always ready with a joke, story, or kind word and helped many of us build our careers. My thoughts at prayers go out to the family.

Harry was a great man! I am sure he touched every person he has ever met. He was the most caring and kind man I have ever met. He will always have a special place in our hearts. My thoughts and prayers are with Sharon and the family!

Family of Jim.
I have many fond memories of Jim at the Rockford airport.
Him in the tower, and me trying to land in the fog or in a blinding snowstorm, he gave in-valuable information to help in all these endeavors.
My condolences and God speed to all
