Good morning my love. Hurricane Henri downsized to tropical storm. Thank goodness. Basement flooded but with help of newly installed second pump it drained quickly. I am forever grateful for John and Bernadette. They checked on me several times. So grateful to have them. Missing you terribly. With love and affection, Sandy

Good morning my love. Good news! Hurricane Henri will make landfall further east. We're expecting storm surges and high winds between 10am-2pm. Moving car to higher ground. Everything has been buttoned down. Thinking of you. With love and affection, your wife

Good morning my love. A hurricane is expected this evening. Hurricane Henri. I will be staying at John and Bernadette's this evening. Weather guessers saying it might bypass us but not sure. As you would say "weather guessers". Well we'll get to test out the new pump installed in basement. I also secured everything outside the house yesterday. Fingers crossed. Love and miss you. Sandy

Today, my love, after one year, one month, five days, I washed two of your three tee shirts that you wore on your final day, July 9th. I am going to put them back where you took them off and hung them. Everything remains as you left it.
Two of the tasks you had on your list I completed yesterday. Installation of front yard and backyard fences. Second pump installed in basement. Curbside appeal immediately improved!
Love and miss you. Your wife Sandy

Good morning my love. Exciting news! Barbara finally came up to cabin. Shane and Tommy joined us. We had a great time. Of course, she loved everything. After working on property and troubleshooting the Trolley, we took a boat ride (who knew Barbara grew up boating). We had another first..Barbara taught Shane how to drive boat.The beauty of the lake was breathtaking. Hung on porch, shared loving funny stories about you and Ron. You would be so impressed with Shane. What a kind, warm young man. Plus he's truly a genius! Tommy has volunteered to assist me with finishing up some of the woodwork you were going to handle. Next visit is weekend of 8/27. Your legacy will go on!! With love and affection, your wife.

Good morning. Finally, and this has been at least five years in the making, I had lunch with Bernadette and her Mom. What a great time we shared. Aside from sharing memories of you we giggled like school girls in general as we discussed a variety of topics. Upon leaving we promised to do it again in five years :)

Good afternoon my love. Took first trip without you to visit Lorraine. Even though we are having a good time, I must say it is a very surreal experience. Your ears must be ringing because we are sharing so many wonderfully funny stories about you and Brian. Knowing that you are always with me doesn't eliminate or lessen my grief. Miss you! With love and affection, your wife

Happy first birthday in heaven. If I had a flower (your favorite orchids) for every time I thought of you, I would have an endless garden to walk through.
You always said orchids are your favorite because of its simplicity of beauty and elegance. I think it was because they represented you and how you found the beauty in life and nature.
Loving and missing you. With love and affection, your wife.

We would always take a moment to express our appreciation of this country. Carrying on with tradition I will be at the Lutz's today. Thank you for your service. With love and affection, your wife.

Good morning my love. Today is my birthday. You would awaken me with the balance of kisses from Valentine's Day.. Later you would prepare one of my favorite dinners and bake a cake. You would always say you loved to cook but you didn't love baking. Since we were always in New Orleans for your birthday, you always made my "New York " experience a wonderful one. Thank you for always making it a special two-day event. Missing you terribly. With love and affection, Sandy

I’ve never seen a happier person then my uncle Jimmy. Every memory I have of him he just always had the biggest smile on his face. Even when I was younger and he would take me to work with him, and I know things weren’t going the way they were supposed to, I never saw him get mad or upset about anything. He loved his family more then anybody I know. Although him and aunt sandy didn’t have children they have all of us. And there were many times I thought of them as kind of second parents. The first time I can remember flying a kite was at the field around the corner from their house. My first plane ride was when they took me to Disney world. The first house I built was with him up in the Adirondack’s. He could go anywhere and talk to anybody and make friends wherever he went and if you were lucky enough to just have a five minute conversation with him it would brighten your day.

Sandy, Jim had a "honey do" list. Knowing you I don't think you gave him the list or if you did you didn't pressure him to shorten it. Here lays the beauty of you two. Such an easy relationship. People always say anyone who says relationships isn't work are lying. Guess they never met you two. What ease you two had with each other. Soulmates. A word I don't believe in. But I witnessed it by being around you two for decades. You called to thank me for the remediation consultant who happens to be my cousin. Time he got back in his car he called me saying he remembered meeting you back in the day. Was shocked that you were still together. No one we know really are still together. Hmm! I told him while Jim might have moved like a glacier on doing work around the house, he jumped on starting his relationship with you. You never have to thank me for anything I do for you. I am doing it for both of you. There is a saying "you're a reflection of your friends." If I am a reflection of Jim I couldn't be more honored. Was a top shelf man. Always there to help others or leading by example showing us how to be in a relationship as well as how to live life to the fullest. Finding the balance between work and play. Just call me when you need me or you just want to reach out to a friend. I'm here always. Ed

Sandy, I apologize for the delay in posting. I have been stirring over what to say for hours. I am going to be honest, I have been putting off writing something because everytime I try, my heart grows too heavy. I have so many joyful memories that I am so grateful for. You and Jim were an awesome part of my childhood as well as friends and family as adults. Every year when you two traveled to Lancaster Jim would always make sure on your way back home we'd all meet for dinner. What a great tradition he started. At our last dinner, November 2019, we were all determined to meet during the Christmas holidays at Longwood Gardens. Something we seemed not to be able to mutually get scheduled for years. Well, we finally did it, January 2020. What a great time we had! I remember once you asked my Dad when or how did they meet in the Air Force. My Dad couldn't recall. As he said Jim was instantly his BFF. That is how I think of him. He was always apart of our lives. Then he joyfully introduced you to the family. I was a child when he did, but I knew it was a happy occasion. Charlie and I were so happy that we were able to share the news with the two of you about the upcoming arrival of our baby. Typical of Jim he was overjoyed for us and very supportive. I can see his smile now and hear his voice. We'll continue to feel his support and hear his voice through you. We can hardly wait to introduce her to you. She was born 10/19/20. You told me a day before your 18th wedding anniversary of 10/20/20. Both dates filled with happiness. Our condolences to you and Jim's family. I don’t want to say at the loss of Jim. He is not loss. He remains in all our hearts and memories. With love, Nicki , Charlie and Mina

Sandy, I am so sorry for your loss. We have worked & known each other for many years. i never have thought of you or Jim separately I have always thought of you two as one. I always admired the love you both had for each other and you two are the perfect couple.
It always seemed like no matter what cutover I was on for Siemens, and there was so many Jim was there. There would be times the crew might get tired or short tempered but Jim would always be smiling and make us feel much better. Jim was a pleasure to work with and I feel truly lucky to have known him and call him a friend. Jim was a person that truly is special because Jim made everyone around him a better person. Jim's smile and personality filled up the room and he is a great all around guy.

Sandy, I was so sorry to hear about Jim. I remember coming to your home to assess the selling value of your house and give you two guidance on what to do to get the best value. It saddened me to recently return to your home. I remember the first visit. I found myself staying longer than intended because Jim was so knowledgeable about the town of Freeport as well as all the other towns on Long Island. I offered him a job selling houses. He let out such a deep belly laugh. He thought I was kidding. Saying you two came as a package deal. Of course you did. I visit alot of homes. Your house had such warmth. Filled with the love you two shared. When I left I told you to take care of yourself. Without missing a beat you said "No worries. Jim is taking care of me. Always!" You made the profound statement that he is always with you and is taking care of you through his family which is yours. How grateful you are that you had been loved and will continue to be loved by him. Again I say take care of yourself knowing fully well that Jim is taking care of you.

Sandy, it was so good to see you back at yoga today. We all met your husband. He was such a warm and friendly man. Loved it when he came by the studio each year to purchase your "stocking stuffer". He said you were so easy to please. But always wanted to try to surprise you with at least one thing you weren't expecting. I was impressed with the fact that he really meant that. You always spoke of him with such warmth in your voice. I read the posts. Clearly you two had a great relationship. Not knowing him well, but physically seeing and hearing in your voice when you spoke of him conveyed everything. Please know that your yoga family is always here for you. Condolences to your family. Namaste Yolanda Lia and Sandi

Sandy, you contacted me about Jim with the worst news. His passing. At the end of our conversation you told me about the website to post a memory. I asked you if you would be angry if I didn't. You said of course not. Since then a few months have passed and I am now able to post. I was your wedding planner. I remember the first time I met the two of you. You two were so friendly. Your guests were arriving the next day and you wanted to pull a prank on your friend. You had me tell her the boxes with the table settings hadn't arrived. When she found out you two were kidding I thought she was going to kill the two of you. Next you two had what appeared to be an ice cream cart go to your guests rooms. Ice cream cart was a rolling beach bar cart. Everyone fell in love with Miles our bartender. Boy you guys knew how to celebrate. With the following years you two always returned back to Caneel Bay to celebrate your anniversary. Always happy, friendly and smiling. I know that I was blessed to have known Jim. Genuinely a kind and nice man. I always remember us talking over the years and you saying how lucky you were to have met him. Luck had nothing to do with it. You two were soulmates. Destined to meet. While I will not start my sentences with "the two of you..." anymore I know you will be with your Jim. Because you two were true soulmates. I witnessed you two (saying it again) being in love. May you find peace until you are with Jim again. He will be waiting for you with loving arms and his great smile! My condolences to Jim's family and friends. Vera

I had the pleasure of meeting Jim and Sandy while they vacationed in St. John USVI. Their friendly and fun personality were evident at first meeting, as well as their strong love and admiration for each other. I highly admire them both and am very grateful for their friendship.
I consider it a blessing to have met them both, and am very grateful for the many laughs Jim’s comedic and kind personality brought.
All my thoughts and love go out to Sandy and Jims family. I know he was very loved and will be very missed. I hope they can find comfort during these times.

Sandy, I am sorry that we kept missing each. Until finally you left a message that I am still reeling from. While I hadn't been in touch with Jim in quite awhile he always made it a point to reach out to me. Last time was this time last year when the two of you were coming to Disney. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it. But not seeing you guys in decades didn't matter when we spoke. It was as if we had just seen each other. Jim just had that way about him. Words fail me. But these don't. When he introduced you to us he had his usual smile on his face only bigger. Remember he is with you forever. Our condolences to you and his family.

Sandy, what can I say to you that would ease the pain of such a great and sudden loss? As a PM at the DoE, who worked with both of you, I was fortunate to reap the benefits of Jim's professionalism, kindness and most of all his sense of humor. I once asked him "why are you always so happy; never complain." He said "my wife and I believe you have choices in life and we always choose happiness." I thought that comment said alot about the two of you. Jim didn't share much of his private life with me. But one thing I knew from the few conversations that we had was that his love for you was tremendous. Always wonderful, kind words about you and your lives together. As we all continue to travel life's journey, may we all view life as your husband did. Be happy, kind and always smile.

I hold myself as one of the fortunate DOE PMs to have had the pleasure and privilege to work alongside Jim on some DOE projects. When Jim was on the scene I was confident we would not leave the school until we had an acceptable resolve. He would often amuse me with his humor and tall tales of their beloved rustic cabin. Jim had a gift to adapt and make any problem a little lighter. Jim will be truly missed. May he rest in peace.

Sandy,
Working with you, through the years, I have gotten to know Jim. I don’t think that we ever had a conversation where his name didn’t come up and when it did, I could always tell that you had a smile on your face or you would give me one of your Sandy giggles. Finding someone to truly Love and feel that form someone in return is amazing but, to find your Soulmate brings it to another dimension entirely. I am so happy that you found yours and to have those memories to look back on. You are a strong woman with many friends. We are only a phone call away

Sandy, I am so sorry to hear about Jim. I know how sad it is to lose the love of your life. I wish I could say something to make it better, but as they say, time does help. When it first happens, you think that time can't possibly help, but it will.
I miss talking to you! Some of my favorite times in Vista were our conversations. I remember telling you something about the fact that you are not getting fatter, your pants are just getting shorter!! I don't remember anyone laughing so hard! Who knew they would be the good old days?? As our friendship grew, I found out you and Jim were selling your boat. At the time, Mike and I were looking to purchase one. We met you guys in Freeport. Had a great lunch -- filled with good food and laughter.
The reason for our visit was almost completely forgotten until one of us said, hey, we should go see the boat! Talk about low pressure sales!! We were just friends having lunch. Mike and I talked on the way home how we need to get together again because we both had such a good time. But, sadly, life got in the way, and time really does go too quickly, and it never happened. Just maybe, Mike and Jim are enjoying some time together now as you and I in the near future. I'm sure Mike is showing Jim all the best places to eat (I remember he was a foodie), get coffee, where to go fishing, how to practice levitation, etc.
While I never got to know Jim as well as I got to know you, what I know for sure is that he was a good man since a good woman loved ❤ him. My condolences to you Sandy and your family. Laurie Nishinaka.

I sit here with a heavy heart as i look at Jim’s photo. It has been decades since our ROLM days and yet the memories feel so tangible. I can’t remember the jobs we worked on together but i do remember Jim’s infectious smile and calming voice. He was always so genuine and down to earth. I always felt good knowing we would be on a job together because he instilled that confidence that all would go well, no matter what.
Sandy, my heart goes out to you. You and Jim were the coolest couple and you stood the test of time-something so rare to find these days.
Sending healing thoughts and prayers to you and Jim’s family during this difficult time.

Jim, I know your loving life with Jesus in Heaven but I just wanted you to know that your legacy here in the natural realm is beyond what you could imagine and its only because you were the beacon of hope with your zeal to help and minister to others and probably didn't even know that you gave them a piece of you which was a baton of the gracious person that you are. The part I will miss most is just talking with you and Sandy together, we always had a blast just chuckling about things we came across and our conversations just seemed to just almost had to end abruptly cause we needed to do other things in life cause the time just flew by. Thank you for modeling what is like to be a good person in a broken world we live in we are all blessed to have had you in the flesh with us and now we get to have great memories of you until we all come home along side with you. In the meantime what memories you gave us all is what we can use to show others what it looks like to be a good man, a good husband, a great Dad like figure and an awesome Brother!
Love ya Brother

Jim was definitely a nice person who was warm and always so calm.
I remember working with Jim on a Phonemail upgrade somewhere in midtown. We hit a few snags but with Jim there things always seemed in control. We got things ironed out and both walked together toward the subway entrance toward 34th street. This sticks in my mind because Jim would be discussing things that weren’t work related but life in general. He cared about how I was. What I was doing. This is what stood out for me. He was a compassionate human being who will be greatly missed.

Sandy, I am so very sorry to hear about Jim's passing. I remember our days back in the late 80's/early 90's as I was first starting out as a Systems Designer at 237 Park Ave. Both you and Jim were always so welcoming and I enjoyed our conversations. Jim had the best "chill" and positive demeanor - always smiling, and everyone around the two of you knew how much you adored one another. Sending you prayers and may Jim's memory be a blessing. RIP Jimbo

Sandy, I had the pleasure of getting to know you before you and Jim met and got together. I was impressed with your kind smile which was simultaneously serious and engaging. Your way of being so sure of yourself so idealistic.
Funny how we don’t know what lies ahead of us as we navigate life’s choices and it’s ups and downs. Probably better that way. I saw such inner strength and sense of purpose and am sure that over the years that has not been lost. That inner strength and your enduring love of your life’s partner will carry you through. Even though your loss and loneliness will test you minute by minute hour by hour day by day
When I think of Jim I see huge good natured smile. I think that probably came from deep inside. It was who he was
When you guys got together I noticed and felt such easy comfort between you. I thought you were the ying and yang of life for each other.
I am writing to let you know I am better for having known you and Jim. That your love for each other was wonderful to see. And my heart is so very very sad for you

Jim was one of most genuine folks I have ever known. He always went out of his way to help others, myself included, in difficult situations. He provided strength for me to once again go outdoors, face public situations, and get back into the work force after I survived the attack on the World Trade Center. He was a great friend, meticulous planner, and had compassion for his customers that is unmatched. I will miss his hearty laugh, understanding ways, and his giving nature. The world has lost yet another great in the Telecom field.

Oftentimes, being a Sales Engineer, I would reach out to Jim for insight and answers to help resolve customer, technical, or sales issues. Jim generously provided, mixed with conversations of personal mutual interest, like martial arts; easy-going and always approachable with calm, steady, strong spirit. Much gratitude and fond memories, Jim.
May you Rest In Peace.

I hope this picture doesn’t startle you Sandy. It’s a picture from a party at my Stuy Town apartment 32 years ago.
This is how I remember you guys. You were already in love at this point. I’ll never forget your love story, including your first kiss when you smacked your teeth into his. He made a comment in his easy going, non judgmental, funny way (something about you never having kissed before). I fell in love with him too.
I loved that he adored you, protected you, made you laugh and so much more.
I’m devastated for both of you. You deserved to live to be very old together.
Sending melting hugs Friend.

When I left Siemens to do my own thing, I had a need for some help and somebody said, you know Jim Donnelly, he does that kind of work...and so while I knew him, somewhat, I did not know him that well...but that's when I started to get to know him.
From the start we got along like we knew each other for ages. It's like that with many ROLMans when you get together, there is a kinship of some sort...and so it was with Jim...but on top of that was....Jim....just so...like...chill (before chill was a thing...lol) and easy, and a pleasure....likable...all on top of knowing his stuff.
At that time I was about get married -- like in a week or something -- and we ended up talking about where I was going for the honeymoon and he said -- Oh, I know that place, Sandy and I LOVE that place (Caneel Bay, St.John).
Anyway...off I go, and we get to the hotel room, and there is a bottle of champagne. A nice touch by the hotel, right?
Nope...it's CONGRATULATIONS...from Jim and Sandy.
Ugh....getting teary at the memory here...just the sweet in that, the goodness, thoughtfulness.
We went on to do a few more jobs together. This was over 15 years ago. Did not see him or speak to him much after those couple of years.
I'm sorry for your loss Sandy.
You should know there were an awful lot of Sandy and I this, and Sandy and I that, in my chats with Jim.
No doubt you two were meant to be, had something really special and good together.
The good things in life go on and on and on....

I worked with Jim in the ROLM/Siemens days. Jim was always a delight to be around. Just a kind, thoughtful and genuinely nice guy. He was always patient with sharing his technical expertise and never made me feel less capable..the best way to learn, and he was one of the best to learn from.
Sandy, whenever he spoke of you, there was always a twinkle in his eye and you could tell that was from true love and a real bond of friendship between you two. And knowing the person you are, I could see why.
All the love to you and the family. Jim will be missed but certainly not forgotten.

Jim and I worked on many projects together at ROLM/Siemens. His easygoing nature was an appreciated balance to my sometimes anxious one. My memories include discussing our shared Irish backgrounds, his various handyman advice when I purchased a home, and of course his shared times with Sandy. The memory that stands out the most to me, though, is when he set up my home office after I joined the “Vista” group. He and Sandy both made the trip to Jersey where he hooked up all the technical essentials needed to work from home – a very thoughtful and generous gesture.
To Sandy and Jim’s family -may your heart and soul find peace and comfort. Rest in peace Jimbo.

It's been a long time, but I have indelible memories of you in your cubicle at the Park Avenue office wearing your perfect white suit. Jim would stroll in wearing his overalls and carrying a backpack. He always so happy when he came to get you at the end of the day. I remember his laugh, his protectiveness of you and how perfect you were as a couple. Your story about your first date and the Joan Armatrading concert still makes me laugh.
I am so sorry for your loss, but so happy you were able to have such a love in your life. My sincerest condolences to you and Jim's family

It has taken me a long time to get my head around not being able to talk to such an amazing person. This man has touched so many peoples hearts including my own and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to introduce him to my wife and son Aiden. I am eternally grateful that he was able to introduce me to countless people that have also made huge impacts in my life but especially his wife Sandy. To see how incredible their relationship is, is a bright light and a great example of how a relationship should be. I would always see these two brighten the room with their friendship and laughter. My uncle Jimmy is an incredible person, friend, and uncle. Was always someone anyone could talk to about anything. I will conclude with a statement I will always and forever believe. I have all four grandparents, countless aunts and uncles nieces and nephews. Both of my grandparents have both lost their oldest child. My father and my uncle Jimmy included. Both way too young to pass away with so much more to give the world. As a parent I couldn't bare the thought of losing a child. No parent should ever have to bury their child. So I thank you uncle Jimmy for all of the memories and to everyone in his life that made him such a man as he was. Love always.

I cherish all of the great times we had together working on those massive technology projects at Rolm in NYC and even recently reuniting with you guys was so awesome. He was so smart and technically brilliant, but most of all Jim was always the "nicest guy" with the most pleasant and positive attitude all the time. He shared that with so many people and know that we all keep a piece of that in our hearts forever. I remember the beautiful magic that you and Jim had from the first time you guys met. I am so sorry for this incredible loss. Everyone loved Jim and we will always do so.

Sandy, it has taken me awhile to share a memory of Jim for you. We have been neighbors for over 30 years. There are so many. July 4th parties, during holidays the sharing of recipes (of couse I mean Jim’s recipes!), annual post holiday drinks, your travels, bailing out our basements after each hurricane ugh! As neighbors, you two and my Mom always talking over the fence about her roses that she spent hours tending to and of couse Jim's ongoing dyi projects. Here is the most recent memories. Sad ones, but joyful. My Mom recently passed away at 91 several weeks after Jim. One day Jim’s truck was parked outside of my house. My Mom said "oh Jim’s home. Sandy will be coming out to kiss him". I reminded her that Jim was gone and it was his brother. Several days later my Mom said "Jim visited me last night." I didn't think anything of this comment because she was 91 and ill. A few days later she told me "Jim was just here." Then I knew!! Awhile later, same day, I called for an ambulance. My Mom was in the hospital for several days before she passed. When I got home, one of my first calls was to you, Sandy, my dear friend and neighbor. I shared Jim’s vistation stories with you to my Mom because you constantly told me that Jim is always with you. And he is!! I thank him for guiding my Mom home. He was a special man who is loved so much by you. We both cried on the phone uncontrollably. But ended the call with loving, kind words for them both. I will fondly remember Jim’s big heart ❤ and great smile. My condolences to his family and friends. Terry Lutz

He made you feel like you were the only person that mattered while talking to him. Although the times were few and far between, I always felt so happy after our conversations. And hearing the magic of your love for each other was the best! I will treasure those memories forever. As us jews say, "he was such a mensch." So as I feel the tears rolling down my face and the sadness in my heart, I cannot wipe the smile from my face. The smile that is Jim. Sandy, please know that despite the lapse in time and distance, I will always be here for you. Our friendship started with a fight over a stapler and grew with route op and tons and tons of laughter and good times. You are not alone in this. When you are ready, please let me hear your voice.

Who ever had Jim in their lives was lucky indeed. We first met Jim through my brother Ron and shortly after we met Sandy. they were the embodiment of the expression of two peas in a pod! We have such good memories! all those New Years Eves birthday parties, Lewis family picnics etc. Jim always had some thing cool to say . I love to watch him enjoy a meal especially if it was something I made. It's hard to think of the hole he has left in our lives. Maybe he is with Ron and they are together again. I hope so .

Not only have I lost my best friend Ron, now too I have lost my other best friend. We all have made so many fun and happy memories together, I can't imagine the rest of my years without you in it. My kids adored you, and I thank you for being a mentor to them and being the the most generous, kind "Uncle" to them. Your gentle demeanor, love of life, travel, family, Sandy and of course food lol! will be always be ingrained in my memories.
I've shared a few photos of just a fraction of our good times together; Jamaica 2x, on the cliff relaxing, sharing a glorious meal, countless New Years Eve parties at my house, BBQ's at Belmont (thanks for being the ice man), birthday parties, NOLA, St. John's (paradise), OMG the list is just way too long.

I have worked with Jim for more than 10 years along with his wife Sandy. Jim has always been a great tech to work with. He will answer his phone no matter what time it is..and he was always so funny to talk to. He could make a joke about anything. He didn't take things to seriously and that made a stressful situation much easier to deal with.
Everytime I would talk to Sandy, I would hear Jim in the background "Tell Erin I said Hello". He always was so kind. I will miss his funny jokes and his great sense of humor. The world lost a great man, much to soon.

Jim was a welcome reminder of the balance between softness and grit we continually strive for as humans. Jim and Sandy have been part of our Kekoa and Allura family for years. His visits and presence will be missed and greatly appreciated as a memory in our own stories. We are sending our deepest sympathies to your family as you find courage during this tender time. Here's one of our favorite quotes that will hopefully offer comfort to your hearts and spirits.
"One ship sails East,
And another West,
By the self-same winds that blow,
'Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales,
That tells the way to go.
Like the winds of the sea
Are the waves of time,
As we journey along through life,
'Tis the set of the soul,
That determines the goal,
And not the calm or the strife." by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
May your journey be smooth and free of strife, Jim. With Love and Respect, The Kekoa Family

My condolences goes out to Sandy and Jim's family. I have grown to know Jim and Sandy over the years and have had many great memories of fun times always. Jim always had the greatest smile, and kept you laughing and enjoying the moment. Just thinking about it brings me to visualize Jim's smile as we joked bout lifes moments (smiling w/ warm feelings of joy). Jim will be sadly missed, but not forgotten by far. He will always live in the memories of all who knew and loved him. Michael McCorkle

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Sandy and to Jim's family. Gail & I lived so close to Jim & Sandy on Long Island but as fate would have it we met thousands of miles away on the island of St Thomas where they became like family to us. Their annual visits were so special, we'll treasure the memories forever. We love you both.

We would like to share our deepest condolences to Sandy and Jim’s family. Tammy and I had great times with Jim and Sandy whenever they visited New Orleans. We always tried to show them something new and we always shared many laughs together. Photos include Jim and Sandy at Oak Alley Plantation, Jim and I about to ride in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and Jim on the carousel in City Park. Jim was the type of guy who never met a stranger. He was always friendly and kind. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten. Kevin Maes & Tammy Mixon

Over the 40 year friendship that I've known Jim, he was always consistently happy and it was always evident how much he loved his wife and family. We had some gut busting laughs and he was just a pure joy to be around. I will remember him for his infectious attitude toward life and being like a brother to me.
Will miss ya Brother!
