James, I listened to your voicemail. I still love and adore you. You're the best. McDonalds will miss you and so will ALL of the places that you frequented. I will try to get contact Al. I loved you with all of my heart and thank you for all that you brought to my life. I always have loved you. We have had our special times and you've always made me smile. I was listening to your voicemails, as you sang to me. 
I love you with all of my heart. I miss you so much. You've always done all of the right things by me and opened doors for me. I can not thank you enough. 
Yours truly,
Teressa

He was a very nice man. Allways spoke to me any time he saw me. Allways seemed happy.He will be remembered being the nice person he was.

My heartfelt sympathy to Jim's family.  I'll miss seeing him at Starbucks and around.

Long the time and long the road since last we saw or spoke with one another.  Jim, in your life here you experienced the joy of loving and being loved, but tinged with your share of heartache, no doubt. May your soul be granted the sureness of pure and everlasting joy in the presence of our Lord, Jesus.

Condolences to Kim and Kristin, very sorry for your loss, glad to have met you at McDonald's earlier this year, and will miss your dad's conversation during "our coffee gatherings" each week. Olanda, Doris, "Bob" and Reg.

Stan and Phillip, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
Margaret Goerge & Kathleen (Goerge) Lane

To Kris (Scott), Dean (Pam), and families, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. Thinking of you all and sending our deepest sympathy.

Jim was always pleasant to be around he took some hard knocks and kept his chin up and did not become bitter like so many do God keep you Jim

Jim and I were best-bud cousins as kids, and we enjoyed spending time together at family functions through the years. Jim always held a special place in my heart and always will. He will be dearly missed. Tom and I extend our heartfelt sympathy to the entire family. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry for your loss.  While at the time, I had the opportunity to meet James at Diane Urbanik's funeral service.  What a gentleman.

May God bless and keep you in his loving arms during this sad time.

Jim was included in many of our family gatherings and was part of our family for many years. He loved to be around people and have a good time. He endured hardships and kept on going; that's more than many of us could do. Rest in Peace Jim. Love and condolences to his family.

To the family and friends of Jim, our condolences. Jim was a social aquaintance whom I had not seen in some time. I recall that he was always very nice and was rarely without a smile. I am very sorry for your loss. God bless you all.

Thoughts and prayers to your family, so sorry for your loss!

Kim, Kris, Dean and your families,
