i first met Jim in 1966 in SeaBee "Boot Camp.
We were in the Seabee band together and eventually both lived off base at 52 Robert Ave in East Greenwich, Rhode island.
On June 12,1968, we were released from Active Duty, and drove to Joliet, Jim in a 1958 Chevy and I in my new 1968 El Camino. We left Jim's Chevy in Joliet, and proceeded cross country to my folk's home in California in the El Camino.
Over the years, Jim and i met up. somewhere. We met up for the Band Reunion in Defiance Ohio in 1980. and Jim visited my wife Stacee from time to time at our home in California.
We kept in touch by phone, and ALWAYS talked on June 12, our EAOS anniversary.
For the past 4 years we have met in Las Vegas to commemorate the date.
I only learned of Jim's passing when I couldn't reach hum on this last June 12th. Jim was a very dear friend., and will be sorely missed.
As the old Navy saying goes "Fair Winds and following Seas," my friend.

I knew Jim as a fellow Farmers Agent for more than 40 years. I am sorry to hear the new of his passing. He was always professional and committed to serving the best interests of his clients and promoting Farmers through their Local and National Advertising. He definitely had an impact on the way Farmers advertising looks today. He will be missed.

What a very nice man. I will miss seeing Jim drive by my house on Nadia either coming or going from his house. He would sometimes stop if I was working in the yard or walking on the street and we would have a nice conversation. The first thing he always asked during these conversations was “have you gotten a new dog yet”? Godspeed, Jim. May you Rest In Peace. My sympathy to his family.

To Jim's family
Please accept our sincerest sympathy on the loss of Jim. We hung out as kids and as teens but not so much as adults.
Coming from a big Italian family there were many get togethers through the years.
Rest in Peace, Jim

I was a big fan of the Jaguars back in the day so I have many fond memories of Jim. I hope he is making music in rock n' roll heaven with Ron Bucciarelli. RIP

So many memories but the one I will share is an act of kindness. When we were in sixth grade our teacher sent me out of the room so she could tell the class that I would be getting a hearing aid. Big ugly things back then, so she gave the usual talk of understanding and no bullying. I was told later by a friend that Jim got up and threatens a knuckle sandwich to anyone who made fun of me. RIP dear friend.
