Big Jimmy a great brother in law! He and my sister Diane were the couple who shared their love with each other as well as with their children and with our whole family. We had many good times through the years sharing great family get togethers at their home. I remember we would eat have the Oldies playing and always a game of scrabble!! I always said he looked like a Kenny Rogers! Jim will be missed but always remembered. We love you !! R.I.P. ❤️❤️❤️

My friend, my mentor my Pops. You taught me everything I know about strength, honor & pride. I will always remember and honor you for what you did for me & our family. It wasn't always easy, but I wouldn't change a damn thing. I love you Dad. RIP

My father made everyone feel like they were important. He was very quick witted and would make people laugh. Especially my mother. He loved the ‘oldies’ and ‘Doo Op’ music, and when he listened he would sing along, and you could just see in his face how much he enjoyed it. When I was younger I would call him ‘Inspector Gadget’ because he had every gadget there was. I always thought this was funny, because sometimes I would go to use one of these ‘gadgets’ that were supposed to make your life easier, and they were complete fails. He would just grumble at me and say I used it wrong. I loved watching him and my mother together. You could just see how much they truly loved one another, it truly warmed my heart. God bless you Dad.
