I have nothing but fond memories of Jim. First time I met him was when I worked at Tony Roma’s. He always made work fun and a little crazy at times. Years later our paths crossed again as he was a good friend to my wife’s Olivia family. Always still fun to be around. Invited to some of his house parties that he enjoyed DJ-ing at. It’s always hard to say goodbye to someone who was always fun and uplifting to be around. However I know he is a better place being the best version of himself. You will be missed Jimbo! Condolences 💐 to all his family and friends. Will be missed but not forgotten.

Big JIM, 
Thanks for the memories, it was fun growing up around you and the guys. You were always so laid back, cool and funny.  I’ll never forget the fun parties you hosted and the world famous “DJ” you play at the parties spinning records and fun person you where to be around. I pray you rest easy big guy. Say Hello to the family and friends for all of us. It’s not goodbye but see you later… 
Thanks for being you.

Jimmy, 
I've known you since I was 22 and you have been a part of my Family ever since thank you for being a awesome Nino to Cassandra and brother and best friend to Doug. I will cherish all the memories we had our trips with everyone to Rosarito, the Halloween party's and all the outings with Doug and the girls. 
Rest Easy Jimmy Love,  
Like my Dad always said "it's not good bye" , it's see you later.

Rest easy friend! thanks for all the back dock talks.

Jim! You were an amazing man, manager, friend and human. I’m so saddened to hear of your passing. I hope you are pain free and smiling that amazing smile down on us all. I know the Crabby Bobs crew misses you and hope you are at peace. Much love to Jim’s family and friends.

I worked with Jymbo at Tony Roma’s in the 90s. Great guy awesome boss you will be missed sweetie. Rest in peace love Rachel.

We love you Jimmy, and you will forever be in our hearts.  50 years made us more than friend, it made us family.  We will miss your laughter, your smile, your kindness, and most of all the love you so generously gave to everyone. 
Make the angles laugh, until we meet again under the shelter of our Glorious Heavenly Father’s care.

My precious brother, it breaks my heart that life took you too soon. I miss you more than words can express. My heart aches without you. Not only were you my brother, you were my rock, my guide and most of all, my comical best friend. Your laughter, your jokes and funny antics will always echo in my heart forever. I will always hold you in my heart, until we meet again; for I will search for you in Heaven until I can hug and kiss you again. There is no doubt that you fought the good fight and still kept your faith and now you have finished the race in our precious, loving God's embrace.

Love you more, you Sis 💕😘
