Love you brother. Will miss you, but never forget you.
Margo and Marcie, I am very sorry for your loss! Please accept my heartfelt condolences and prayers for you and your family!
The team at Pleats Will miss Jim. He was our first driver and the first in a terrific family to work with us. Katie, Ed and Grace followed. Jim was a pleasure to work with and to call a friend long after he left. Nothing made him happier or more proud than talking about his grandchildren.
So sorry to see this, Margot. Sending love & condolences to you & all the family.
Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry we won’t be able to attend the services. Please know that we are thinking of you all at this difficult time. Much love to you all.
Peggy…we are so very sad to hear of Jim’s passing!
A Great man, neighbor & friend! Condolences to you and Family, John & Jack Stiffler
Peggy, so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. My prayers are with you and the entire family. I will always have fond memories of “Big Jim”. Please take care of yourself. Bob
A great man, recalling his helpful spirit and act toward others . Also a sense of humor dealing with life set back. Look forward to seeing him again on the other side when he is always healthy and young in his 30 years old. God and Jesus’are with him now. Amen
Dearest Peggy and girls, we love you and your family and Jimmy even more! We have been out of the country and are extremely sorry to hear this sad news. We are deeply saddened by your loss and send our warmest thoughts and prayers. We think and speak often of you and the wonderful times with Marcie’s softball team. These made so many great memories never to be forgotten. We actually saw Coach Tom the day before he passed and it was a visit full of precious reminiscing about those softball days and our own ‘head jokester’’. In Jim’s words, stay tough. You can do it Peggy❣️
