I'm so sorry you had to pass this way Baba. I know how hard you battled cancer, and I know you fought hard for your family! You were and still are a man known for being so loving, patient, and kind and you really treated my mom like a queen and me and my sister like princesses. I don't quite have the words to describe you other then perfect. No one could ask for a better father, husband, brother, son, friend, Co worker or leader than a caring and compassionate man like you. I'll always honor your memory, and make you proud Daddy!
All my love, Sofia

I met Jim just over 23 years ago when we both worked for then Chapters! What started as just another co worker relationship quickly became a dear friendship! I had the pleasure of seeing him and Lisa married! The pleasure of sharing in his excitement when his 2 beautiful baby girls were born! He shared in my excitement of my 2nd son as well! We supported each other through some of our toughest losses! All in all, Jim was a great friend and a genuine soul! I’ve had the pleasure to call him my friend and celebrate some of greatest moments together! I’ll miss you Jimbo! God took you too soon but he gained one of the best to his team! My heart goes out to Jim’s family but remember he’s with you in everything you do! Lisa you were and always will be his queen! Sophia and Gabby, words could not explain how proud you made your dad! Not one drive was ever shared without the talking about the 2 of you! He loved you 3 unconditionally! I hope you find comfort in each other and in knowing just how much he treasured you!

Before we met you Jim I prayed and knew there was someone out there for Lisa and low and behold she introduced us to you Mr. Perfect SON-in-law. She couldn't have introduced us to anyone better. From day one you were nothing but a genuinely kind hearted soul and I knew she hit the Jackpot as did we. Thank you so much for all the tech help over the years and of course all the beautiful family memories. Needless to say nothing will be the same without you and you will be greatly missed! Don't worry Jim I will continue sending your gold stars up to you although I know you'll be the brightest star up there and shining brightly down upon us.
Love always and forever
Marg and Mike

Dearest Jim,
We have known each other our whole lives. Our Dads are “Mario & Luigi”. We have so many wonderful memories to look back on. I fondly remember our parents always having coffee together watching Dallas, You and Magda listening to Metallica and playing board games, Tony and I playing floor hockey on the carpet, and I would stick Joanna in the closet to play with the Lego by herself but, you Jim always let her play in your room. You were like a brother to us, the brothers we never had. So many holidays spent together. Our Easter tradition of getting Johnny’s hamburgers after we received the holy light was the best! Always laughing at our Dad’s “shouting”/ talking loud to one another (and they still do!). We can’t believe you’re gone. I guess God knew it was time for you to go and be with your Μαμά, Γιαγια and Θείο Θεμι. We will miss you so much Jim.
We will light a candle for You, Lisa, Sofia and Gabby. We will keep you close in our hearts - Always.
Don’t worry θειο Γιώργο will take care of θείο Στάθη.
Lisa, Sofia and Gabby we send you love, strength, courage and prayers during this very difficult time.

We love you Jim!
Magda, Maria, and Joanna
