Jimmy was a great friend. We had so much fun on the Tileston football team and later a large group playing basketball in the Tileston gym. Then later in High School. Just a wonderful fun person.

Jimmy has been a friend for all most all of my life. He and his beautiful mother, Linda lived in my grandmother's boarding house at 6th Chestnut Streets. Have seen him many times over the years. He will certainly be missed.

I was quite sad to hear about Jimmys passing.... Though I have not socialized with Jimmy for many years, our days at Hemingway Elementary are very memorable.....
We would meet on the school play ground in the afternoon and shoot basketball until the church bells began to ring, and that meant it was time to go home.... My prayers go out to Jimmy Family..... Jimmy Lem class of 58
