It is very difficult to say goodbye to such a dear friend who has been such a big part of my life since I moved to the Poconos in 2003. I admired Jim's integrity, his traditional ways, he loved the holidays and family dinners. He valued his close relationships and really showed up for the people he loved & cared about, he was a man of his word and the most dependable guy I know. Jim was well liked in his community where he lived and was always willing to lend a hand to his neighbors without expectation or reward. He had a witty sense of humor that made him a joy to be around. He was always up for a walk and a barbecue, we never had a dull moment. You will be missed my friend and forever in our hearts. May you Rest in Peace. My condolences to Jim's Mom and brother and extended family,and to his girlfriend Laura. May you find peace through this difficult time. I am sorry for your loss.

In 1992 I met a handsome young man through his neighbor Ray. Around 7pm that same night Jim knocked on my door to ask me to go to dinner. I have never met someone so determined. Twenty years later we were still going out on dinner dates, to the movies, cooking together, and walks at Tobyhanna State Park. Yes, we had our ups and downs, and loved each other enough to always return to each other, no matter what happened. We were together in the beginning, together in the end, and together in between. Jim and I shared everything, good and bad. That's what true love is. I was with Jim as he passed away unexpectedly I want everyone, family, friends, and coworkers, that Jim passed away quickly. I am so thankful to God for allowing me to be there when Jim needed me the most. In life there are no coincidences. Psalm 23 - The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want. . . .
