JB, Sarah and Emily. I knew you when you were young living on Brinton in West Toledo. I used to babysit you when your dad was working late and unable to be there right after work. I am sorry to hear of your loss. It is with sadness and heart ache I am sure, but know that God has only given us barrowed time and your dad has been called home to be with God for whatever reason he has chose. Live every day to the fullest because no one is guaranteed tomorrow!
Sincerely,

Tammi Alexander

My deepest condolences to all of Jim's family. I believe the most memorable times of most people is during High School. It certainly was for me and many of those fond memories included my dear friend Jim. We all have many struggles to endure during our lives and Jim certainly had his. Now that Jim is at peace with God, I pray for his children and family and all of his many friends and classmates from Central Catholic. We'll miss you Jimmy.
