There really are no words that can convey my emotions at a time like this. Sorrow and grief don't even come close. My heart is broken. I haven't been a part of Jims life for a long time, but the bond that we shared growing up together was a strong one. The years that have passed have not diminished the love and respect that I have always had for Jim. To pick one happy memory to share would not be possible. Every time we got together, a good time was had. Jim loved life and that came through in everything he did. We have lost a truly great man. Frances, Big Jim, Tim, Shirley and the kids, my prayers and thoughts are with all of you. Love... Jon Rei

Timmy, Angela and Family No words can express the heartfelt loss you are going through. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

My deepest and most sincere sympathies go to Jimmy's family. I am completely shocked by the passing of Jimmy and I pray that happy memories fill your heads and hearts at this time and always. I remember Jimmy as the "wild child" in High School (in a good way!) And at our 25th reunion he was cutting the rug like crazy...he had a good time and will leave all of his classmates with a big smile as we think about what a fun guy Jimmy was! Rest in Peace, Jimmy!

Timmy, Angela and Family, Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss... Our thoughts are with you and your family. Sincerely, Wendi & Wayne Regan

Frannie and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. No words can explain . Please know we are praying for all of you and holding Jimmy in our hearts. God Bless. Jill

Fran and Family, Fran - we worked together at Dunkin', but I knew Jimmy from the Ninety-Nine Restaurant in Easton and didn't know he was your son.

My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sincerely, Janet

Tim & Family- I was very sorry to hear of your loss. I'm sorry that I was not able to make the services but wanted to pass along my condolences. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I want to pass along my deepest sympathy to all of Jim's Family. We worked together in the same office for a number of years and it was my pleasure to know him. I will miss him.

I remember Jimmy as being a cool and confident guy with an awesome car, we used to drive around and have deep discussions on how I thought how big that Madona was going to be, which he adamently disagreed with! How wonderful it was to be young and without a worry in the world. I liked when he decided that my life of luxury must end and that I should get a job to which he went out and got me one! Never thanked him for that, I loved working at the Village Steak House. Jimmy was a great guy, I loved him very much and I am so grateful to have met him!

Jimmy was one of the liveliest, quick-witted, full of life men I knew when growing up with him as my cousin. He always had a warm ready smile and a zest for life unique to him whenever I got together with him. His passing away came as a great shock to me. I cannot even begin to imagine how his family---Frances, Jim, Tim, Shirley and his children---feel with the loss of someone so well and truly loved. My thoughts are with you all in grieving for Jimmy's passing on from this world into Heaven to be with with his Fathers before him.

Hi Fran, I am so sorry about your loss. My thoughts are with you are your family.

Always a leader. Always smiling. I have great memories working with you at fridays and The Village Steak House. Seen you a couple years ago and you bought me a drink. I will miss you

Jim was a great guy and a very good chef. I will always remember the great times we had at the Easton 99 restaurant.he will always be remembered with good memories.My thoughts and prayers go out to Shirley and the entire family and friends that will truely miss a great guy peace to you all.

May God be with you and your family at this difficult time. May you and your family be strong, God will always be there for you. Love Always, Cheree

In the Bible, John 5:28,29 and Acts 24:15 assure us that those who have fallen asleep in death have the wonderful hope of living again. Also take comfort in Revelation 21:3,4 where we are told all sickness, pain, death, mourning and outcry will all be things of the past, gone forever. Take comfort in these wonderful promises.

To Shirley, Joshua, Kristen and the Souza Family. Deepest sympathies to you all on Jimmy's sudden passing, will keep you all in my prayers.

Tim and Family, We have lots of fond memories of Jimmy behind the bar at 5 Bays entertaining everyone with his quick wit and welcoming smile. He will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Jamie and Beth
