Sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. We were classmates at Muhlenberg Central. He loved cars and I remember his 66 Corvette he had many years ago. That was something we had in common as I’ve had two different corvettes over my lifetime. I spent many times eating meals and hanging out at his parents restaurant in Central City. He had wonderful parents. To his family I would encourage you to hang on to the memories which always stay with you. God Bless!

Sandra and Cindy, Like most folks, we thought Jimmy was one of those invincible individuals we believed would live forever (and he will now) so we were shocked by the news of his passing. Take comfort, however, that you and we will see him again, most of us sooner than later and this time it will be for eternity. In the meantime, we send you our deepest and sincerest condolences and prayers for peace and comfort during the days ahead. God bless!

Sandra & family, I was so sad to hear about Jimmie. As a kid, I remember him driving down the road to your parent’s house to pick you up for dates. After I grew up & married, we moved into your neighborhood. I will always remember seeing him walking the dog, driving around the neighborhood on his motorcycle, car, scooter, golf cart, etc. Jimmie was such a friendly guy, and he always had a big smile or wave as we drove past your house. As my son said, the neighborhood has lost another good one. I will always miss his big smile & wave. I pray that God comforts you, Cindy and all your family during the difficult days ahead.
