I first met Jim in 1994 working at Laurels Restaurant. A lot of good memories. I remember him working on that car with Marty for the races. Haven't talked to him much in the recent years but the memories feel like yesterday. Rest well my friend.
I remember when he was just a small boy, not even able to talk yet. Our families were great friends over the years. We shared fishing Adventures and barbecues often. Our parents would stay up late playing cards together.
You will be missed brother...🙏🙏🙏🏁🇺🇲
Jim, words cannot express my grief. I only got to meet you about 10 years ago. I always dreamed of having and older brother. Then one day out of the blue, I got you! Now you are gone and, now I do not have an older brother again. I hope that you are up in Heaven walking, running and feeling wonderful again! I will miss our messenger chats! I didn't get to know you long but, I am so glad that you were in my life for the amount of time you were. Rest easy in Heaven big brother! Love and miss you every day, your little sister, Robbie.
I meant Jim many years ago when I was 18 at a restaurant, I was waitressing at. He was always such a really nice guy. He will definitely be missed. RIH Jim
Well Jim, Seems I always bumped into you somewhere along the way. But,, I know your MS was really getting to you, your pain was so bad. I pray you are with Debbie up above, and partying right about now.
The best time I will remember is camping Labor Day Weekend in New London; You were partying like a rock star but you never got sick. I never could quite figure it out but you had all the jokes, knew every song the band played and never missed a beat. Debbie & I laughed our asses off all night with you!
I hope you’re flying high above the sky.
Give Deb, a big hug and watch over her! Until we meet again.. As ypu say: Peace Out!
I will never forget the time we went camping and it rained all weekend. But Jim didn't let the rain stop us from having a great time. Jim you will be missed by many. Soar high above the clouds my friend.
Jim was a sweet, loving, thoughtful, talented man! We had so much fun with him in Florida during his visits! I'm going to muss you so much!
A lot of good times partying, concerts, racing, fishing, cookouts. Gonna miss 'The Big Man."
