We just learned of Jim’s passing and would like to express our sincere condolences. We will miss the conversations (usually on Wednesdays), his smile and his wonderful personality. Looking through the picture we smiled a little bigger at the one taken in Livios. The other pictures captured a full and happy life that he shared with you and your beautiful daughter. We hope those memories bring you comfort in the coming weeks. He will be missed by many. Sincerely, Eva & Dan

My sincere condolences to Jim’s family. I worked with him in the 10th District for many years before we were promoted to Sgt together and assigned to the Deuce. We later returned to our roots in 10 where Jim stood out as one of the most knowledgeable and loyal supervisors there. I hope you can take comfort in the many memories you have of Jim. Rest In Peace my brother.
