I am so sorry to hear if our beloved “Jimbo’s” passing. I have so many great memories of spending time down at “the creek” visiting with Gram (Moody), Aunt Zelma, Mom. Dad and the rest of the gang. It was always fun when Mom would have Jim do his stomach “trick”. Hugs and love to you all!

Goodbye to my cousin and my buddy Jim. My childhood friend who helped me many times as an adult. He was such a happy person all his life with so many friends who will feel a void in their life now. Best wishes to Sylvia the love of his life and all his family.

We are all saddened to hear of Jim’s passing…
Jim was a constant figure in our earlier lives and my mom, sisters and I have fond memories of his competitive spirit, unique sense of humor and ever present sense of pride in friends and family.
His inquisitive nature was always a joy to my father, and I remember many long, lazy summer afternoons at the farm with the two of them working under the hood of a car, or tearing apart a lawn mower or boat motor before we all headed out for an afternoon of skiing at Seneca Lake.
Years later, I delighted in playing a few rounds of golf with Jim and “giving him a run for his money” as we both chipped and charged our way around the course vying for the best score.
Our sincerest condolences to Sylvia, Cindy and family for your loss…
