I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Jim as a big hearted guy who had a lot of friends and always a smile to offer. 

Dear Laura and family,
Sending heartfelt sympathy and prayers for healing.
Laura you are always there for me,  I am only a phone call away!
Memories at Jimmy's Reggae Party from many years ago, I'd probably still be there dancing but a dog bit me and I had to  go.
God Bless you all, Jan and David Tatelbaum 

I’m so sorry for your loss 
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Family 

One word Mapledale. All of the great memories. Godless the Howell’s 

This is so unreal. Jimmy how could you be gone?  I could always count on you to make me laugh. So many memories and good times we had, I will hold them deep in my heart forever. You are already so terribly missed. You were one of my best friends  and I love you so much my heart is completely broken 💔 watch over us, until we meet again my dear friend. “Be happy, your beautiful “ 💕 

2 things.  As a kid, he always made fun of how mom said "milk and snacks" at the school lunch tables.  As an adult, no matter where we ran into each other, he always had on a Browns shirt, would come up to me and just shake my hand and smile because he knew what I was thinking!  We always had that respect.  RIP Jimmy.  Love ya bro!

Words could never be used to express how deeply sorry I am for the loss of Jimmy. We grew up with you all on Mapledale Road and went to Mapledale School together. I just saw Jimmy a few months ago at my brother David's funeral. It meant so much to see him there to give us comfort during our most difficult time.  He was such a sweet caring person.  My prayer is  that Jesus will wrap you in his arms and give you all his comfort and his strength during this most difficult time. 

OH MY!  The memories of the fun loving Jimmy will always be in my heart!  He lived on his terms with an open heart and love for life!  My prayers are with the entire Howell family, God be with you.

My heart is breaking for JC and all of Jim’s family and loved ones. Jim was so sweet and funny and always so proud of JC. May Gods grace comfort all of you and his memory live on with JC. 

This is tragic news. I'm so sad for JC and family. Jim was a kind man who stepped up and encouraged and supported my grandson in baseball.  I enjoyed chatting with him at recent baseball games.  I'll never forget what he did  and how special that act of kindness was...this is sad news. Thoughts and prayers to JC, family and friends. May you rest in peace.
