Hey Dad,  I visited you on your BIRTHDAY where I would least expect it. Its tough for all of us! We all miss you everyday. I miss hearing you say,  "I'm not sleeping"  One of the best memories when Cissy and I would stay with you while Ma, twins and David were @ Cutty's. You would treat Cissy and I to Burger King Whopper and sit and watch a softball game @ Mckinley Park. We all know how much you enjoyed the sport and playing. Oh Dad,  I wish you coulda meet Christiana and held your first Great Grandson Noah James Pietro... I wish I could hold your hand just as you held mine when you taught me @ four years old to ride a bike and as you did for My Son Matthew James... forever in My Heart...your Changa

I miss my brother Jimmy.  And still hard to realize he is here with us.

Sorry about your loss maria i know how much james meant how much you love him but that will never go away he is here in spirit he is near you holding your hand everyday.james will always be an inspiration to us all. My prayers are with your family.

Dear Bernice,  I'm so very sorry to hear that you lost your father all too soon in your young life.  It is a blessing that he was surrounded by his loving family.  And are you familiar with the book "The Power of a Praying Parent"?  Well, I hope it gives you consolation that you are such a prayerful, wonderful daughter.  Honestly Bernice, you are one of the most truly spiritual people I've ever met.  You walk the walk...  I'm sure your prayers have great power and will be a great intercession for him. We prayed for your father at the Queen of Life Chapel today, and everyone is praying for you and your beautiful family.
There are many loving hearts with you this day.
May God grant you his peace and consolation.  Much love, Jean M. Jacoby

I thank God for letting me know Jimmy and his brother John while working at ZENITH ELECTRONICS CORPORATION in Melrose park Picture Tube plant. I knew Jimmy for 21 years I worked there.
Jimmy was always a Hard working, Honest and a very Loyal employee and a SINCERE Friend during my working years at Rauland.
Will miss him very much.
Me and my family extend our deepest sympathies for all family members grieving of his demise.
You all will be remembered in our prayers for God's grace for handling the loss of Jimmy.
With Love and Prayers,
