Dear Candi- 

We are sending warm thoughts and love to you and Eddie at this difficult time. While somehow we all let the weeks slip into months and months to years and we hadn't seen you and Jim for sometime now, we have wonderful fond memories of family time spent together when your mom and Ernie were still with us . Jim was always so welcoming of us and the kids to your beautiful home and always ready with a funny comment or remark. We can't imagine the shock and sadness of his loss and wish you only good memories and comfort knowing he is at peace. 

Much love - 

Lynne , Matt , Julia and Dylan

Uncle Jim it’s been awhile since the last time I’ve seen you and it’s hard to believe you are gone from us with your Quick wit and smirk. Growing up and coming to visit you guys in Philly was always fun . I looked up to you. I enjoyed hearing you tell a good story of you and your brothers hijinks and hearing some of the stories when you were a stagehand  down at the spectrum. You gave me an appreciation of going see a good music concert. Save us down here a good seat up there with love and respect Leigh

The sudden passing of Jimmy was heartbreaking&that will take time for our family to heal. But Jimmy will always be in our hearts & memories forever!! I was thinking about the time when we were camping & Leigh Jr. .was just a young boy & he fell in the lake & Jim instantly grab him out !!! Sylvia remembers when she was 14 yrs. old & met Jimmy for the first time when he was only 4 yrs. old & he looked up at her with the sweetest smile on his face & all these years since he would still greet her with that beautiful smile. He will always stay with us and will never be out of  thoughts.
 
With a fond Kiss, 
                                                                 Leigh & Sylvia & Family
