Thinking of my cousins and sending warm, loving thoughts and wishes to you all. I wish I could be there to give you all a hug. I have fond memories of your dad, Papa and great- Papa. He loved you all so much. Although he is gone in body, his lessons, love, and spirit will carry on in each of you (and us).
Greg and Sandy, please know we are thinking of your entire family and the loss you have suffered! The lives and family we have today were gifts to us from our beloved parents✨✨
Our deepest condolences on the loss of your dad.
Christine and Jerry, you are in our thoughts.
As a kid your cousins are really your first friends, and as such I will always remember Uncle Jim and the time we spent on Jaros Ct. He lived a great life and got to meet and hold his great-granddaughter Phoebe. We are all gonna miss him, but can relish the fact we got to know and interact with him. Love to Greg, Cathy, Chris and Allie…
My deepest condolences to your family on Jim’s passing. I have known him for many years, and always looked forward to our conversations.
In this sorrowful time, I would like to extend to you my heartfelt condolences. I offer you my thoughts, prayers and well-wishes during this time in your life. May our Lord comfort you and your loved ones.
It’s never easy to lose family, but, I’m grateful for the time he was here. 90 is an awesome milestone. And, he lived well until he passed. Revel in paradise, Uncle Jimmy!
SO sorry for your loss Sacks family but what a gift to Sandy, Greg, and their sons to be able to spend quality time with him this past year . You will always cherish that time and and now you have an angel watching over all of you.
Condolences and prayers for strength and healing
I though the world of Jim. He was not only a collector but a very good man. Our club will miss him, his smile and his stories. God bless this true American, this friend, this good family man. The world is smaller without him.
One of the smartest and friendliest people I’ve ever met.
