Rest In Peace, my friend. I
Rest In Peace, my friend.
I had the good fortune of working with and enjoying many lunnches with Jim
while at Burroughs Building 8 in Downingtown. While tears will be shed at Jim's passing,
many smiles will come from remembering the good times that we we all enjoyed with him.
My deepest symparthies to Pam, Jimmie, and the rest of the family.

" A wonderful childhood friend from H.B."
I have so many stories about my friend Jim and our formative years
in Honey Brook. The "order of the day" was running,biking, story telling
and downright mischief. His childhood home was full of laughter........
stories from Clarence (dad),Mae (Mom), Flora Lee & Janet (older sisters).
Some of our best times included Aunt Margaret (our favorite teacher)
and Uncle Percy (the undertaker). Despite all of our adventures, we made it
through our Twin Valley years unscathed and went on to enjoy life as it
unfolded.
Jimmy was full of life and lived it to the max. He will be missed
by those who knew him.
God Bless his family during this time of sorrow and loss.
From his friend, Don & Jeanne Styer

So Sorry to Hear about Jim
Pam, Mike and I are so sad on the loss of Jim...geez, we have so many fun memories being with you guys. He was the most fun loving person we ever met, never a dull moment when Jim was around! I will never forget the first time he "woofed" at me when I walked through the plant at Burroughs...I thought he was the most obnoxious guy ever....but I LOVED it! That was the beginning of a great friendship. He will be greatly missed by so many, but I know he is still having fun up in heaven. You and Jimmy and family are in our prayers.

Jim Remembered..
Pam,
Our sincerest condolences to you and your family. I have done nothing all week but talk to my co-workers and friends about what an upbeat, hysterically funny man Jim was. He made us all laugh, and now he makes us cry. I think you should write a book about your life and all the funny stuff he did. Jim truly symbolizes the quote "Live, Love, Laugh".
With much love,
Charlotte & Jack Muller
