Cathleen, Collen, Brigid, Mrs. Kane & Kevin, I want to extend my Deepest Sympathies and condolences for your loss. Jim was a great and loving husband, father, son & brother to you all.
I have been Jim’s friend for 56 years. I recall when we first met each other in 1964. He was 7 & I was 6. We met at St Matthias Church. We attended St. Matthias school for a short time before moving on to Temple Christian Day School, then Alma White Preparatory School before parting ways for two different High Schools and Colleges thereafter.
We stayed close friends through the good, the bad and ugly. I have a lot of great memories with Jim from grammar school, summers at the swim clubs, high school, college, hanging out or texting right up until March 24, 2021.
I have met a lot of people through Jim that I am proud to call my friends as well.
Jim is a stand-up guy and lived his life to the fullest. His integrity, commitments, morals, and ethics will always be remembered.
Our conversations about the New York Yankees, life, love for our country and his nervous laughter will always be remembered the most by me.
I can see Jim arguing with God that there must be some mistake. There is no way Keith Richards could outlive him.
I did not lose a friend but a brother.
Rest-In-Peace my brother….
