Debby and Family,

I am so sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I remember Jim from my childhood doing yard work for my mother and step-father and the years in school at both Bromberek and Lemont High. Jim was a great man and always nice to me....the world lost a good one much too early. I pray you and your family find peace and comfort during this difficult time.

It is so hard to put into words what we feel about Jim. We love him so dearly and thank God that our paths crossed in the basement of a house he was building. Who knew that that day would change our lives forever. He entered our hearts and became a part of our family. Many laughs and countless memories will remain in our hearts. He has a heart of gold and a tender soul. We will continue to love him in our prayers.

We'll never forget Jim's gentle smile and soft chuckle that warmed our hearts... he was one of a kind. We shared a love for boating, margaritas and of course, Golden Retrievers! Fond memories of our time together will be forever cherished. We miss him dearly... All our love and friendship

I am sorry to say that I hadn't seen Jim in many years, but he was a very good friend in grade school and high school. He passed too soon.
