I just now discovered that Jim is deceased. Jim and I were former Marines, we practiced karate at Olympic Karate in Niles, and we attended Northeastern together. We also socialized often back in the 80´s before I went on active duty. Semper Fidelis brother.

I just today heard of Jim's passing and I want to offer my very belated condolences.
Jimmy and I grew up together, sharing the same birthday. I remember all the childhood birthday parties and trouble we got in together as young children. As we grew up we spent hours listening to Beatle albums and memorizing the words. He was my big brother and protector at Maine East. I will always keep Jimmy close to my heart. His warm and caring nature will live on forever. RIP Jimmy.
