Jimmy, you were the most loving, generous and kindest person. A champion for our family. You will be missed and forever in our hearts.

Jimmy, you were the true meaning of a Step Father. You stepped up to raise eight children when our biological father, Arthur, became ill and passed away. There are no words to describe how remarkable you were taken on the responsibility of caring for Mom and raising eight siblings from the ages of 7 to 18.
Vince, Lisa, JD, Adelynn, Gabriel and I are forever grateful that we had the privilege of having you in our lives. We love you and miss you with all our hearts!
May you rest in love and peace, Jim.

In the 1970's and early 1980's my future husband Vince and I used to dine regularly at the restaurant where Jimmy worked as a server. He was always full of news about the family and always proud of the progress of everyone, especially James and Glenda and Ron who were youngsters at home.
Jimmy was a caring gentle soul with a wicked sense of humour. He made our dining experience something to look forward to every week. I was sorry when we moved away and stopped going out for Chinese food, as we really missed our visits with Jimmy. Rest in peace dear Jimmy. Your kindness was always appreciated.
