Our family always enjoyed Jimmy's company at parties and get togethers. Both his humor and joyful exuberance were contagious! Because of it, we always made sure to sit near him. You will be so missed, Jimmy.

Hoop was a good friend having met in Savanna IL a long time ago. Both him and Tommy stayed at our house in savanna later in life and went for a boat ride on the Mississippi River. We connected a few times in both Savanna and his home in MD. He was a smart, gentle and funny guy. I miss him but I´m thankful for the time we had-

I knew Jim, "Hoop", in St. John's Grade School in Savanna, IL so many years ago when he and his brother Tommy lived here for a few years. We reconnected as seniors in our 60s. I enjoyed our talks immensely and am so glad he revisited his childhood connections! Jim was a unique, sweet, gentle individual who will be missed by all that had the privilege of knowing him.
