    Uncle Jim, so much to say... thank you for being the best uncle a niece could have. Thanks for being you: super witty, super smart, fun, always quick with a joke and an easy laugh, always willing to work on a challenging project, and succeed above and beyond. You could create something out of thin air with an idea. You could fix anything. I was always amazed by your gifts, skills and talents. You're a rare breed and you are missed. Is it ok to say that I'm heartbroken? The world is a smaller place without you in it. Love, Kimberly.

    I have fond memories of Uncle Jim from when I was a kid. He was such a hoot—he made all the kids feel welcomed. It always warmed my heart to see all four brothers laughing together.

    Oh Jimmy, you are missed so much already ! So many great memories and precious time shared but what comes to mind first is the Christmas we all spent 5 days on the couch together. Herc on your lap and you by the fire. Snow outside and endless laughter . We had so many things to show our Pittsburgh friends but in the end we always opted to just sit by the fire and be together . You will always be " sharp as a tack my friend " Love, Your " Philthadelphia "family Yes. Filthadelphia as you would say .
