Life is so unpredictable. I was shocked when I heard of Jimmy's passing. He came to the live broadcasts of Nash FM 97.3 all the time. He was always so upbeat and loved to talk about his autographs. A true music lover. I'm so sorry for all that loved him and I'll have you in my thoughts.

It is with dear sadness that I write this today as I heard the news that Jim had passed I was in such shock because he had such a high energy and spirit that went with his smile. He was so happy just to see people and all he ever wanted was time. Time to smile with someone and learn about them. He could be anybody's friend and would help the world if he could. He will be greatly missed. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family.

Jim always called me Auntie...we played so many times together when he was young, best friends...then he grew up and had many friends that took up much of his time. That's the way it should be. He loved to smile and tell jokes. He drew so very well...He sent me many cartoons that I loved. He loved his children to the Moon and back and was so excited about his new Granddaughter. Family was a big thing to Jim...I miss you now Jim, and will miss you forever. RIP my dear, you are in a beautiful place with God and your family. :)

I went to grade school with Jimmy at St. Pius. He was always so sweet and always making us laugh. I was so glad to find him on FB and see that he had not changed a bit. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his family and friends. Rest in Peace Jimmy.

We wish we knew the words that could bring comfort & peace for the sudden loss of Jimmy. The last time I saw & spoke with Jimmy was at Aunt Elaine's funeral. What I remember will stay in my heart forever. The kindness in his eyes, his hunger to learn about my life and share his, and his love for life and family. I truly wish I had spent more time with him as he knew what values are important in life. Our hearts & prayers are with you Janet, Robert, and family. We love you.

Jimmy was such a sweet guy. I remember him staying with us sometimes in the summer when we were both little.
The last time I saw him was at Dad's, his Uncle Loren's, b'day.
He gave my daughter Kendall a big bad of Mardi Gras beads...which she loved.
I wish we could have lived closer...I will miss you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Janet and your family.
Love ~ Lori
