LINDA....EARLY MORNING SENIOR MOMENT....WE WERE TALKING  HOW WE JUST SAW MONICA AND JIM AND THINKING ABOUT ALL OF OUR FUN PIZZA NIGHTS TOGETHER,  AND I MISTAKENLY WROTE MONICA INSTEAD OF THIS TO YOU....I KNOW YOU UNDERSTAND, GETTING OLD DEFINITELY HAS  ITS CHALLENGES!

WE THINK OF JIM,  MONICA AND THE GIRLS OFTEN AND REMEMBER HIM WITH FOND MEMORIES OF FUN TIMES TOGETHER.  JIM WAS  THE NICEST, MOST POSITIVE AND FRIENDLY PERSON EVER AND WE KNOW YOU MISS HIM TERRIBLY, JUST AS WE MISS HIS SHINING LIGHT HE BROUGHT TO EVERYONE. SUCH A WONDERFUL MAN AND WE WERE BLESSED TO HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR SO MANY YEARS. LOVE TO YOU ALL.

Dear Brother, I decided to wait until your service was completed before I wrote this.  "I love you"  and missed you from the time you left this earth to be with Mom, Dad and Grandma along with our friends and relatives.  I have many friends who do not get to spend much time with their brothers and sisters for many different reasons.  I am so blessed to have you as a brother and for all these years we were such good friends and lived so close to each other.  I have wonderful memories of growing up together and our shared time with our families.  You will be etched in my heart and mind forever. Until we meet again.
I love you Jim.  
Your Loving and "YOUNGER" Brother....Ha Ha



Linda, Kristen and Danielle....we are so shocked and saddened by Jim's sudden passing, what an amazing, husband, Dad, Grandfather and friend.  Having been friends with you all for 25 years since the girls were little, playing softball together and sharing so many pizza nights with the gang, will leave a great void in our lives.  Jim was always so fun, sharing so many wonderful stories, thoughts,and experiences , we always loved being with you guys and will miss him very much.  Linda, Kristen and Danielle, as you know better than anyone, he left you a legacy of love, beautiful memories and wisdom  about living life the right way, as he had an incredible ability to make everything better with his presence.  Our hearts break for you all and we send every once of our love, support and will always be here if you need anything.  

Very Sad hearing about Jim.
Condolences to Linda and the family.
May His Memory be Eternal +

Deepest Sympathy

I am still in shock, can't believe Jim is gone. He was my neighbor for many years and even when I moved away we kept in touch. He was so good to my parents who still live in DP. We will miss you so much. 

Love Vickie 

Dear Linda and family, my deepest sympathy to you. I remember  Jim always smiling. I think of the good times we had going to the folk music concerts at Friendship School. Now Herb and Jim are both gone.  I wish I could be there for you, but I am in AZ. We will get together when I return. Remember we all love you. Elaine

We were very sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. We all had some great times together both in and out of Stockton. Even though we have been gone from the Chicago  area for 25 years you guys have always been in our thoughts. Please accept our prayers and sympathies  to you Linda and your family.
Love, Donnie and Jeannie Hill

I will sure miss you,  Pops.  Thanks for being an awesome mentor and for always having my back.  I know that your awesome family will live out your legacy of being the great person that you were. Linda is such a gem and you both raised two amazing daughters.  Watch over all of us please like you did here on Earth.  
Monique
