Thank you all for your love toward Jim and I.
I look forward to the day when we will all be together again to share how great God is in His love and mercy to each of us.
Jim received a word from a servant of God 4 years ago that he was "healed in the name of Jesus". He  believed, as I did, that this was a word from God and trusted....with his last breath!
Now,  I believe Jim is in the presence of Almighty God, praying for us for salvation and to trust the Lord no matter what this life has for us.
"As for me and my house - we will serve the Lord!"
Love and bless you all.

My mother had already given birth to three boys when my little brother, Jimmy, arrived and she had been expecting a girl.   My previous brother was named “Donn” because he was supposed to be “Donna.”   
Our sister, Karen, arrived three years after Jim, and has been a wonderful gift to her four brothers.  
Karen wished for a sister and our dad arranged for Sueli, an exchange student from Brazil, to become a sister to us.  It was an amazing experience that we still enjoy today!
I have been blessed to have had an amazing little brother!  Even though when he was only ten years old, and I was eighteen, he required collateral when I asked to borrow five dollars.  I adored him and we had an unbelievable relationship his entire life and I miss him already!
He was always a joy to be around: a great sense of humor and a lot of fun!  He was an unbelievable help making deliveries in our family business.  Customers liked him and said he would get on his soapbox and preach to them, particularly when they were anxiously waiting for a delivery and said “thank God you’re here!”
My mother had two brothers, uncle Jim and uncle Fay, who everyone loved .  Jimmy spent a lot of time with uncle Fay and invited him to live with him in Syracuse.  I recognize similarities in the two of them and how fortunate for me because I truly loved my uncle Fay and Jimmy was there, for me, when my uncle died very tragically.
All four of us were active in boy scouts but Jim was the only one to attain the “Eagle Scout” rank.
Jimmy genuinely practiced the scout oath and law and I can’t think of a better tribute to anyone than acknowledging adherence to those principles.  
I could tell endless wonderful stories about my little brother but I just hope he knows that his father on earth, as well the one he worshipped, always loved him, even though he may have never told him!
Lovingly from his big brother David

He told us to go dig up worms to catch bass, knowing full well Keith wouldn’t touch a worm. Great day, great man!!

Great Memorial Day Dinner. We also had dinner in Fredericksburg Virginia and he tipped the waiter with a one million dollar bill. He gave Keith one also, we still have it!! A lot of laughs that night. 

I pray the family and close friends of Jim take great comfort knowing he was one a kind  sent from above to us.  We were all blessed to have him in our lives. Even though my time with him was few and far between, I will always remember his gentle demeanor and sweet spirit. Now that Jim has come full circle, and his spirit is back with his Creator in Heaven, he will continually have fullness of joy, vitality, and I am confident, his sense of humor is fully intact as well. 

Many blessings to all,

There is a song by Johnny Cash on my playlist at the moment called “I’ve Been Everywhere.”
Everytime it comes on I think of Uncle Jim with fondness remembering that he got to sit in Johnny’s chair before he died!  How happy that made him!! Now, hopefully he is next to Johnny Cash up in heaven helping him sing us lullabies to sleep peacefully at night knowing the 2 of them are up there in charge!!  He will be missed!!

The Chirico family would like to send their condolences. Eric and I grew up together . Every summer for years we would go up to Jim's camp or Maria's camp and play and fish canoe Jim taught us a lot of stuff how to fix things how to cook things. He was like a second father to me. I was fortunate enough to be with them in the time he was here. We love you all..

Thank you Lord for placing Jim Ianuzi on this earth for such a time as this! As father of my precious friend Dona, I can’t imagine my life without her traversing so many pathways with me!   My heart goes out to you all…, such a precious family!  As you navigate the journey of memorializing  a man that had so many facets, may this undaunting task to look back at his life, be one not filled with overwhelming grief, but in the joys of your fellowship.   What a man that loved God!   He was a rare jewel of surrendering to the lord.  

My minds eye picture of him, forever embossed on my heart…, is him standing with his arms lifted high, worshipping the creator of the universe, and loving Yeshua so fully.  How preciously he and Linda leaned on each other in those worship times I observed them together.  Life doesn’t get much better than that!  

I know that many loved ones, and special someones, won’t be able to make the trip to VA.   Yet, I’m sure they carry him in their hearts, and grieve not seeing him another day on this earth.  May the Lord comfort all your hearts!  I pray each one will be in eternity with him!   I’m sure he is now pain free, and passionately worshipping with many of his favorite people, who welcomed him into the throneroom of heaven…. So Lord, again thank you for the life of Jim Ianuzi!  …as he has finished his race, may his impact reverberate through the lives of those left behind and thru the generations!  Comfort them I pray!  

My heart and my prayers are with all of you who shared in Jimmy's life, making it a loving testimony about who he was.
 Maria

Our prayers are with Jim’s family at this difficult time.  May God’s bring you comfort and peace

We were so blessed to know Jim for so many wonderful years. Most importantly he loved the Lord Jesus with all his heart. Jesus truly was his Lord and Savior. We know now he is with him free from pain.
He loved his wife, family and friends and seemed to care for
others as well. He will be remembered as a kind man.
Celebrate knowing he has finished the race. All who know
Jesus will see him again.
Wayne & Joanne Montpetit
