I have fond memories of our high school days where we were good buddies. Although I left NJ 50 years ago Jim always stayed in touch. He will be missed. Who knows we may get together again on the otherside

Every time we saw Jimmy,it was a fun experience.

He had a wonderful,expansive personality!Not many people have the ability to make others feel comfortable and welcome.

My mother, cousin Irene, told me that Jimmy was the most beautiful baby, always smiling and happy! That big smile remained with him throughout his life!

Jimmy,William ,and Dennis always impressed me with the closeness,warmth,and love they have for each other,and Florence.They were all wonderful sons.Florence always commented about how lucky she was to have them and her daughters, Ceil and Barbara.

Ceil, hold on to the happy memories ,and of being a wonderful wife.

Much love to all the family.

Love,

Susan

I'm incredibly saddened to hear of Uncle Jim's passing. Aunt Ceil, I hope you and the rest of the family can find some peace and comfort in the difficult times that come with this loss.

I was lucky to know Uncle Jim since I was a kid. I can't remember the first time I went to Aunt Ceil and Uncle Jim's house, but I do remember that they were always the coolest. I'm sorry to say probably the first thing I do remember was playing Duck Hunt on their big screen TV - back when that was a huge deal. Or was it that cool Norman Rockwell painting in their bathroom and their cat that didn't like kids (Roscoe?). But the visits were always nice and felt right, and Uncle Jim being the giver he was would load us up with swag from work before we headed home. I remember he was the first person I saw cook blue crabs, although I haven't figured out that garlic butter thing he did. I remember him letting me tag along a bit to check on customers as I got older. And he was always patient and kind, which I definitely didn't appreciate until I had kids of my own. He always made me feel important. Even over the past decade or so where we never never go to see each other, he reached out almost every holiday. He was that fantastic type of person that builds the relationships the world needs to keep moving on. I'll miss him.

Love,
