Tried as much to put this in chronological order. We did not see each other as much in the past few years due to illness but i did cherish our times together. I will miss you brother! 
getting Christmas tree on the 24th. paper route at Deaconess hospital.  Mattel hockey game. Tommy Burns. Box ball at Mary Magdalene. Car trips to Florida. Busch Gardens. Crystal Beach. You punching me then me saying something stupid to get hit again. Dad umpiring softball games. Dad's first heart attack. Neighborhood kids keeping quiet while dad recover. Playing baseball by the science museum and getting jumped by other teens. Your fishing tackle box(sandy knows the story) Beaver Island State park. Mashed potatoes on mom's ear😀 Grandparents over on Thursday for pinochle and Carlings. Dad passing away. Mom getting assaulted at grocery store. Us moving to Amherst. You going to Seneca High. Being on the tennis team. Your first car I believe was a 66 mustang. I learned a lot about music from your record collection in the room we shared(just made sure not to get caught using your stuff) Your fringe jacket(so cool) Wanting to be called Seamus. Shane's bar and the 4x4 room you had   Throwing a going away party when i went in the Marines at Crystal Beach. When you made the All-Star team in hockey one year and played in The Aud. all I remember was two minutes roughing and back to the penalty box🤷Marrying Lina. Niagara Mohawk. Mom passing. Me you and Sandy at Mom's memorial and went out for a drink at a bar and  I-took care of the tip to which you said you could go back and eat free. When we moved to Hilton Head SC you and Lina would visit and get some golfing in. He was always amazed at the wildlife on the island. Jim had multiple hole-in-ones. Me none. Falling off my roof and cracked some ribs. Me going back to Buffalo to play golf with his friends at Harvest Hill. As  a fan of the Bills and Sabres hope springs eternal.
To Lina and and family may God bless you knowing that he loved you

Sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I became his uncle when I was 10 years old. Many fond memories of playing countless rounds of golf with brothers Fred, Ted and him.  A great competitor, a mentor to Fred on his shot selection. Great smile, Great laugh {alto sometimes sinister}, Loved to talk about his family, his gardens, horses. Life was not fair to him for a long time. He deserved better.     Ray Niedziela/Elaine

Jim and Sandy, before I dropped the baby bottle on his head

Jim was a good man, a Renaissance man. He understood the complex world of finance, trading, and managing multiple people's lives, all while being an avid painter, gardener, and BBQ expert. He was a hockey player, a bowler, and a golfer with more than one Hole-in-One trophy. He was a collector and trader of coins and was into a wide range of music. He was full of advice and had a good sense of humor, with a particular fondness for Foghorn Leghorn. He enjoyed Mad magazine since he was a kid, and always had a new, interesting show to introduce me to when we came over (if the Sabres or Bills weren't on). Jim loved his family fiercely and told me, on countless occasions, how he felt about each of them, especially my wife and children, while we sat in his recliner room or on the back porch. He will be missed, but only until we all meet again. Peace to you, Jim.

Sending you all love at this difficult time.

On the deck he built.  His yard was like a park. Beautiful.

He loved and was so proud of all of his grandchildren. He shared art tips, and gave Tabitha many of his old supplies as they have a shared talent in art.

The day I married Eric, my Dad told me so many times how happy he was for us. He loved Eric and knew I was in good hands.

Visiting my home, he trimmed all the over grown plants, and told me how t care for them.

A younger Dad, must be before he turned 30, because his hair is still dark.

He loved the farm, we spent many weekends there.  The fresh air and open fields were a stark contrast to our home on the west side of  Buffalo.
