You have our prayers for Jimmy and the family. It has been a long time since we talked; however, classmates are friends forever. May the Lord bless you.

My deepest condolences to Jim's family - Donna, Bobby, Eric and Tim. Jim was good man who will be missed by his family and friends in the Wenona community. On occasions when I would get back to hometown Wenona, I would occasionally see Jim and we would always have a good conversation mostly about baseball and our favorite team, the Cubs. Even though he is gone too soon from this earth, take solace that he is now in better place, no pain or suffering. Thoughts and prayers out to the entire family in this time of loss.

Donna, Bob, Eric, and Tim- I occasionally check central Illinois news from the Pantagraph on-line. Today, I was deeply saddened to read of Jim's passing. The times I have come back to Wenona were always better if I ran into Jimmy. I was fortunate several times in my life to spend a little extra time with Jim. For one, I worked with Jim for the State Road Dept. many times during a summer job when I was at ISU. Also, several summers we played slow pitch softball in Minonk, again while I was at ISU, and had too much fun. You knew Jim would ALWAYS hit it deep, deep, deep to right field. It was just a matter of being a fair or foul ball! My deepest sympathy to all of you. RIP, Buddy.

I am so sorry that Jim has passed away but I know that he is in a better place. I will always remember the fun days at Wenona High School and our times at the Sweet Shop and visiting with everyone there. RIP Jim.

So long old Buddy, we have been down many roads together over our life and I'm going to miss you so very much!!! We were born in the same room at St. Mary's Hospital in Streator and have been very close friends our entire life here on this earth. Jim you called me just a couple days before leaving to talk, I didn't know it would be our last talk together. I pray and have been praying as per your request for you that you are now in the presence of GOD our Lord Jesus Christ in his heaven for eternity! Rest in peace my friend!

No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why. You will be truly missed--more than you'll know. There are few good men in this world and know you were one of them. With all our love, thinking of you.
