I was just getting to know him again. He was my roommate for half a year at Loras. We used to drink shots of ouzo together. Recently we were kind of writing something about the trading floors together. So sad. A great person. God bless him and his family.????????
I am so very sorry for your loss. Jim was always such a nice, caring guy. It was great to reconnect with him after high school, and to get to know Nayeli and, eventually, little Eileen. He was so obviously devoted to his wife and children. I will always remember how kind he was to me after the passing of my brother. May Jim rest in peace, and may his family find comfort in the love they share.
Such a loss for all of us – especially his wife and children. Jimmy had a huge heart and will be missed. Gone too soon. Sending light and love xxoo

Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you and your family Nayelli and all of Jimmy’s family. We are so shocked, our prayers are with you and the family. The Manns
There are no words to tell you how sorry I am. Please Know Jim was respected and admired by so many friends and will never be forgotten.
My deepest sympathies go out to all of Jim’s family – I am so very sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of hanging out with Jim and his brother Bob when they were downstairs neighbors on Armitage. Jim was a great person, always looking out for others. He will be missed. My prayers go out to Nayeli, Jim’s children and all of Jim’s family.
