Robin, I was so sad to hear about Jim's passing. I can still see him washing the pans or serving the chicken at the cathedral soup kitchen, You two made such a great team together and both worked so hard serving others. He will be greatly missed, I am so sorry I did not hear about it until after the funeral. I would have been there for sure. I will keep you in my prayers.

O God, who by the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus
Christ destroyed death, and brought life and immortality to
light: Grant that your servant James, being raised with him, may
know the strength of his presence, and rejoice in his eternal
glory; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Chris, Carl and family:

Jimmy will be greatly missed by anyone who ever knew him. I can remember him while we attended St. Phillips. Seeing him at Cub Scouts and watching him grow into the great person he'd become. Anyone who knew Jimmy could never forgot him as he was such a unique individual . Always true to his family and friends.

Please except our deepest and heartfelt condolences.

Chris, Whenever I think of Jimmy, I go wayyy back and think of our moms at all those boy scout meetings we ALL attended. And then all the great times we had scuba diving, boating and just having fun down at the lake. I remember his infectious laugh, great smile. Jimmy was like my 5th brother. May God hold him in the palm of His hands. Blessings and hugs.

Jim was a truly wonderful friend and comrade-in-arms at MCSD. We shared many a laugh and much great conversation at Eagle Creek both on duty and off. He was marvelously kind and gracious. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. If the good Lord should need a greeter at heaven's gate, Jimmy would Be an obvious choice.

I'm so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. I was brought to tears. Chris and Jimmy accepted me into their family when I began my career some 28 years ago. He was a bigger than life personality. RIP Jimmy.
