I was sadden to hear of my cousin Jimmy's passing. He was always great to me when I was growing up, and always involved in family events and activities. I remember him visiting us in Hawaii. My condolences to the family. He was a great person and lived a good life. His family should be proud of him and all the people he served.

I learned of Jim's passing too late to attend his services. Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. Just a few weeks back, Jim pulled up in front of my house in his van with his son Jim in the van with him. We laughed and visited for a while and now I have that memory to add to the memories he and I shared while working on the Police Department together. It was my pleasure to have known him and I wish him peace throughout eternity. I will remember Jim and the family in my prayers.
