Way too soon. I have fond memories of working with Jim 30 years ago at Consol. He was always so kind, especially under pressure. God bless him

My condolences. I was friend of Jims from FedEx. He was a wonderful guy who was always happy and had a good sense of humor.

Jim was a good friend of mine through the years at Fedex as well as Consol Inc going back to 1988. We shared similar interests and even though I have been telecommuting for Fedex the last 20+ years, Jim would often call and keep me informed on the latest happenings with various people that touched our lives along the way. I shared many laughs with Jim, many conversations and he will stay close in my daily prayers. God bless you my friend!

Jim was an acquaintance of mine from St. Thomas More Church. I sat in the pew in front of Jim for many years. He always had a very friendly greeting for all of us who sat in the same section every Sunday for the 8 am Mass. It is not the same since Jim's passing. We all miss him dearly. Our dear Lord now has another angel as we all thought Jim was. Rest in peace my friend, till we meet again. Alma Cristofano.
