Our prayers are with you to get through this sadness. Loved Uncle Jimmy. He had such a wonderful laugh and sense of humor. The act of kindness him and Aunt Patti bestowed upon my family by just showing up when my dad was sick and about to pass will ever remain in my heart. I have great memories that Inshall cherish of visits up North seeing family when he was there. Hugs and Love.

Cousin Patty, I was so sorry to learn of Jim's passing. I never got a chance to meet him, but I had heard second hand how happy you two were. I regret not having a chance to see you both. Cherish your memories, it will get you thru the future I know. Thinking kind thoughts and sending them your way. May God wrap his arms around you in the coming weeks.

I remember when Uncle Jimmy visited us in Camillus when I was very young. It's one of my earliest memories. He was wearing his Army uniform and I was very impressed. He gave me a piece of candy and a BIG hug. I was a little scared at first because of the uniform, but when he flashed a big playful smile at me I wasn't scared. Later I told my mom and Dad Uncle Jimmy was my favorite Uncle. I wish I took the time to get to know him better, because what I knew of him I really liked. Safe passage to the other side Uncle.

Jim, you always had a sparkle in your eye.. every time we crossed paths. I always appreciated your uniqueness and humor. As I replaced my alternator several days ago..I flashed back to the time the three of us, you, Jeff and myself replaced his alternator at his Hilton apartment. That was many years ago but along with many other memories it was as clear as yesterday. Ironically, that evening, I learned of your passing. You were a man of great gifts and talents. The earth will miss you. Rest easy my friend, you are now home. Infinite love and prayers...

Cousin Jim;

Warm, friendly, huggable. Your smile a mile wide. We only briefly met, but your kindness will not be forgotten. You shipped White Hots to those in need, all the way to Colorado! Your family here will always be thankful for that gesture. Jim, you were well loved and will be greatly missed by many.

Jim was a sort of quiet man but always very kind and humble.

I enjoyed every conversation we did have and liked watching his eyes light up with excitement over a recent cruise trip he had just went on when he was describing it to me.

Such a shock to everyone that we have lost him now. Jim will be missed by all of us but I will always remember him smiling and happy as he was.

My sincerest condolences. Jim has been a great friend throughout the years that we have known each other. I will always cherish the good times we enjoyed, especially the trips to the casinos . Jim will always be with me as we have so many memories together.

Respectively

Steve

A white flowering Crabtree will be planted in Jim’s memory at his home.

Love you so very much Jim, you will be missed greatly from your sister, Hilda.

We are going to deeply miss our brother and our friend "Blackjack". But to borrow a feeling from the song - - Near, far, wherever you are, you are here in our hearts and our hearts will go on and on.

We are so very sorry to hear about your Dad. Even though it has been a few years since we have seen Jimmy, all our memories of him make us smile. How handsome & proud he looked at your wedding, how mischievous his smile was when he was in the middle of teasing your Grandmother, his childlike excitement as he waited for the look on your face on Christmas Eve as you all walked into the front room at Grandma & Grandpa's house after a ride to go look at the lights. He loved you unconditionally - what an awesome, never-ending gift to a child. He will always be watching over you and guiding you in the tough life decisions & celebrating the bright moments as well. I am guessing he is probably teasing "Dort" as I write this. Sending love and prayers for the whole family.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Please find comfort in God's sure promise of a resurrection as set forth in the Bible. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28,29) Those who are raised to life will have the prospect of never again being subject to misery, sickness, or death. (Revelation 21:4) I hope that reflecting on these thoughts will give you some relief during this difficult time.
