Mike Martino familySue and family, So sorry to hear about Jim's passing. I feel fortunate to have visited with him recently at my father's funeral. It had been so many years since we had played together in Schumacher's yard or shot marbles in the dirt by the garages. It was a pleasure to speak with him again. It makes it harder to accept his death after being reminded so recently of what a great guy he was. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Chris PariseSaddened and surprised to learn of Jim's passing. I remember long summer days playing baseball, endless board games, football in the neighborhood yards and early morning golfing at Muni or perch fishing with our dads showing us how to use those old cane poles with 2 or 3 hooks. Getting those triple header catches were so exciting!. Proud to have been Jims friend. He always had a smile and was happy. Happy he has such a loving family and created all those memories. Bless you all. Peace.
