I will miss Jim's smile and wonderful welcome. He demonstrated his love for his family. I always wanted to be on Jim's team when we played Trivial Pursuit. He was always the winner with all the correct answers. He will be dearly missed.
I first met Jim 57 years ago when he showed up in a brand new 56 Dodge to date my sister Joyce. He was invited to Thanksgiving day dinner at our house. My mother started us off in the typical Italian style meal with soup, then some spaghetti and meat balls. Jim seemed to enjoy the meal. When my mother and Joyce came out of the kitchen with the turkey and all the fixings, Jim's blue eyes got as big as saucers and said "THERE'S MORE"! Jim was highly intelligent and could talk in detail about any subject under the sun. He dedicated his life to his family and community. May he rest in peace.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May this candle burn on to represent our love for you as we remember you for the great man you are. We pray for you now and forever for you and your family. Rest in Peace Uncle Jim. We love you dearly!
Amen.
Love,
Shawn, Emilie, Rylee, Zander, and Logan.
