To Jim's beloved family and cherished Friends,

I was so very saddened when Irv sent me the news on Jim's passing. 

Anyone, and I'm sure everyone who was ever in his presence experienced his wonderful laughter, love of life and a joyful and wonderful "playfullness" so very unique to Jim.

We met back in the 1970's, working at Bamberger's in retail. We became very close. He loved to dance with my Mom. My parents adored him! He, a fellow friend and coworker, Marge and I used to take our coffee break at "Bam's" and laugh heartily for a good hour, until it was time to get back to "the floor" (retail). 

We reconnected after a period of time. I am so very grateful that we did. Jim visited us in NJ and it was great to spend time (and of course, laugh!) with him, and share his fun emails, posts and also personal texts of news articles on topics he was so passionate about, fun quips, or just simply a warm and caring message. 

Jim may be gone from this Earth, but know that he is forever with us, watching over us, and lovingly, certainly, bringing many smiles, joy, and distinctive enthusiasm, hearty laughter to Heaven. 

With love, condolences, hugs and prayers,

Susan Sitarski-Sturm
