I have great memories of growing up with Jimmy and his family. This past week I have reflected on all the good times.
Thinking back to when I first met Jimmy and his friend Walt as 12 year old kids at Highland Hills GC. and our escapades together that continued through our days at FSCC and beyond. Boy Jimmy we had some good times!
You will be missed bud, but your memories will bring a smile to the faces of many of us, as you did when you were with us.

Prayers and thoughts go out to Audrey, Mike and Danny and all who share in our loss.

Rest in peace Jimmy, you will be missed.

Jimmy is one the sweetest guys you'd ever want to know. We go way back and I'll always remember the good times are group of friends had together. Especially at the lake. Fish on Jimmy.

I had the privilege of playing with Jimmy on the Norpoint Royals youth soccer team for a number of years and the challenge of playing against him in the Wilson-Stadium games during our high school years. He was a great competitor. Jimmy, coach Duggan, and the other Royals players and coaches will always have a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with Jimmy’s family and friends during this time of tremendous loss and grief. May God bless you all.

I'll always remember "Jimmy" as a soccer player whom I admired growing up, we played against each other many times as kids. He once let me use his soocer boots in a Canadian Exchange game because I had forgot mine. One of the "household" names in the Tacoma youth soccer program of the 70's.

Jimmy was a good soccer player and a great teammate. I remember his grin and mischevious, but good natured sense of humor. I send my deepest sympathy and condolences to his friends and family.

I will always remember Jim for his competitive spirit and outgoing personality. I had the honor of playing on some great youth soccer teams with Jim and he was always an integral part of our success on the field as well as a key player in our mischief off the field. Jimmy will certainly be missed and our prayers and condolences go out to Dan and family, Mike and family and to Mrs. Vaughn.
