    I’m going miss my wonderful Uncle Jim, I’ll never forget the Christmas we sat at my grandma kitchen table putting together the Lego set I got for Christmas or him hitting my on my leg as hard as he could when he saw VW Beetle, or the many times he gave me Indian burns. The thing I will miss the most will be the “Uncle Jim hug”! He also always told me he loved me , and I truly loved him! I’m going to miss him. I’m very thankful that my Aunt Debbie found the prefect person to be my Uncle! Uncle you will be missed but the love you should me will never be forgotten. Im sorry for our l loss Aunt Debbie. Love Michael

    I just recently heard about Jim’s passing. I remember the good times both he and Barry had together. Never a dull moment with these two together. My deepest sympathies to both his wife Debbie and the rest of the family.

    Jimmy was my best friend from the 8th grade on. I loved him as a brother. We were always together during those years until I went into the Marines and then Viet Nam. When I got out I moved back to St. Louis to Go to school. We got back together then and by that time we were both Married. I’ll Never forget the time the 4 of us went fishing and Debbie made the best BBQed Pork Chops I have ever tasted. I was so happy Jimmy had found such a wonderful woman. After moving to Memphis to attend an engineering school we lost touch. I am sitting here in a daze and crying at the loss of a TRUE friend and brother. Debbie, Thank you for molding my buddy and best friend into the man he was and will always be in my heart. My Heart aches for your loss.
