So sorry for your loss. I worked with Jim (don't know why I didn't call him Jimmy) at ShowBiz Pizza Place in Mobile, Alabama about 32 years ago. I do remember his laugh, it would crack me up. We all had so much fun at work & we would do things together after work. We had fun.

My sincere deepest sympathies to the Weichman family. I went to school with Jimmy at McGill-Toolen. He was one of the first person I met at orientation. He was just a loving upbeat person. He will be missed. My prayers and thoughts will be with you during your time of sorrow.

My heartfelt condolences to the Weichman family. Jimmy & I were McGill-Toolen classmates and friends. I will never forget our senior trip to San Antonio, 1980. That had to been one of the most fun times of my life, and Jimmy was a part of it. I always looked forward to seeing him on his annual visits to Mobile. I will truly miss my friend.

Dear Family and Friends of Jim,
I am deeply sorry for the loss of Jim. I only knew him from the times he sat next to me at the Urbandale library as we both used the computers, but it was enough to experience the smiles and humor many of you wrote about.
It was a shock to hear of his passing because his energy and passion for life were two things I especially admired about him.
When he returned from his trips down south, he'd be so happy after seeing his kids and so proud to be a grandfather, too.
May your memories comfort you in the days ahead.

I was so sorry to hear this sad news. Jim was always a bright spot for the evening staff at the public library in Grimes. Polite, cheerful, funny - he'll certainly be missed.

When I think of Jimmy, I think of his big smiles that were always on his face! He was a wonderful person, always with a pick me up line or two. It is hard to understand why he is gone so early in life. But we have to trust in The Lord. I will just think about Jimmy when I need my smile for the day. I will miss you buddy!!
