I was very sad to hear of Jimmy's passing, He was such a great friend all through our school years. We played Deck Hockey together for many years and we all cherished those memories. He was such a great guy with an easy sense of humor who seemed to be liked by everyone back then. It was this past May that a mutual friend and former hockey teammate of ours (John Favazza) and I got together for the second time in probably 30 years, Once again i asked about Jimmy and John called him and I got to talk to him for 15 or so minutes and instantly we were laughing about old times. He told me he was very soon to join me in the retirement part of life. When John Favazza sent me word that Jimmy passed away I was just gutted.  Rest in Peace with the Lord my old friend. My prayers and condolences to Jimmy's family at this difficult time.

It was so sad to hear of Jim's passing. I retired from King Kullen 20 years ago and remember working with Jim. In his position at King Kullen he aided me many times in projects that, without his help, would have been extremely difficult for me to complete. I cherished my time knowing Jim not only as a work companion but also as a friend.
Please accept my condolences on Jim's untimely passing.
