    Dear Jim,

    Bob and I will always be grateful to you for your warm welcome to the neighborhood. We felt so secure with you watching the neighborhood, you knew everyone!!! When my parents were so sick in 2018 and we had to leave town in a rush many times, we always knew you watched our home, we’re forever grateful. You and your pups, they were so blessed to have you! Until we meet again, may God hold you int he palm of His hand.

    Jim's kind soul shone through in his love of his, and everyone else's, dogs. I miss our dog walking chats. Such a nice man.

    Dear Jim,

    Your love for dogs is the gold standard we all hope to emulate! We had so many great robust conversations on so many subjects to numerous to mention here.

    Jim was one of the sweetest men I've ever known. I will miss seeing you in the neighborhood walking your babies. I always enjoyed our chats. I will miss you and think of you often.

    Jimmy my darling 1st cousin, you showed me as my oldest cousin all you saw sitting on the stairs of our grandparents brown stone in NYC on 101st . We spoke often of the early family history but I watched you Jimmy soar above it all. Jimmy's mom Margaret was my mother Eileen sister. Jimmy was fond of my parents Aunt Eileen and Uncle Buster and spoke how he was eternally grateful for their kindness. You asked your mom to sign for you to enlist in the Air Force at 17. Jimmy you always had that special something with helping those around you feel special too. You have always been my inspiration and forever in my heart. The sky gained another shining star my wonderful Jimmy.
