Ellen, Sincere condolences to you and your family. Just heard about Jim's passing tonight. I remember your Suzie and my son, Tom were born around the same time when we lived next door to you and Jim on Dobson. Jim was always so friendly. We laughed about our infants taking turns crying so loudly. Take care, Fran (Manno) Cannon

Jimmie was a spicy meatball. He always had a story to tell. I will miss him. My thoughts are with you Suzie and Ellen.

Warm hugs,

Mrs. Voce and Suzie,

I am very sorry for your loss. I remember Suzie from ballet and your family from walking to school and church - Jim was always nice to me when I saw him working in the garden.
