I was just thinking how Jim always had a solution to every problem and wondered how he ever got anything done with so many calls from everyone and so many projects and  all while always smiling. One of a kind. Truly missed. 

Being your cousin has been such an honor Jim.  You were always so enjoyable to be with and I'm definitely going to miss that chuckle and sweet smile.  I'm grateful that I have so many fond memories of you to hold onto.  Our trip last year will always be unforgettable, I'm really sorry you can't join us again this year.  I'll drink a VooDoo for you, even though I don't like it!  Rest easy my friend.  Peace, Prayers and Blessing

Jim growing up you were the brother I never had. You were always  so nice to Jody’s friends we were all family and I’m  blessed to have had you in my life. Now you and Ron can hop all the trains you want in heaven just don’t let Marion know. RIP Jim 🙏

There was never a time my dad wasn't there for me. I can't even remember a time he was ever mad at me or disappointed in me. He always had my back no matter what I did or needed help with and I could tell him anything. The joy he had being a grandpa warms my heart and can be seen on his face in every picture. He could talk to anyone and make anybody laugh. Even memorable than that was his own smile and trademark chuckle I'm going to miss and will always be what comes to mind when I think of him. I'm lucky to have had a love and support so unconditional and I'll never be able to thank him enough for that. I love you, dad.

Jim 
was a wonderful guy and could talk your leg off.
he  did leave an impression on many people  there was away about him very likeable .Even tho we had some differences concerning   work. He would do anything for anybody.
He will be greatly missed.

We love Jim and were blessed with friendship! Holding memories, some where the time of our lives. Praying for comfort, family.

Jim was more than a brother-in-law to me. He was a “brother”.  He accepted me into his family without question, warts and all. Jim loved people and just didn’t have time to be critical of anyone.  He chose to allow people to let them go and enjoy friends and family instead.  Jim leaves behind children who love him and friends and family who will never forget him. What a Blessing was he. When our time is over, is there any greater accomplishment?  So go in peace Jim, you deserve your sleep.

I remember this young, kind sweet boy who, like the whole Oak Street gang, made a life long impression on me.
