Dear Chris, Mike and Kristen,

Seeing Jim's smiling face on this site brings bittersweet tears to my eyes. I am so blessed to have known him and I always felt so welcome at your shore home. I will miss him and I know all of you will sorely miss him. He was a wonderful man...husband, father, son, brother, friend, and boss. He touched many lives and we are the better for having known him. May our Lord Jesus comfort you during this time of grief and sorrow.

With all my love, Bernadette

Mike,

From reading these thoughts/memories and from what we have been told, your dad must have been a very special man. Thinking of you and your family at this very sad time.

Love, Allison & Bruce

Jim, you were a mentor, a colleague and a friend. Thank you for all you shared. I was truly blessed to know you. The world has lost an amazing man. Rest in peace dear friend.

Words cannot express how deeply saddened we are over the loss of our dear friend and neighbor, Jim. We were truly blessed to have Jim in our lives over the past 30 years. We have wonderful memories of the times we spent together. We will forever treasure the many "Jim Stories" we shared. I'm sure our kids will continue to tell those stories for years to come.

We will miss you greatly Jim. Prayers and love to you and your beautiful family. Maryann, Don & Donny

Our prayers and best wishes for the entire family.

All the best- Rose & Mark

I was sad to hear of Jim's passing. I worked with Jim on and off during my years at Synthes and will always remember his humor and passion. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I will always remember meeting Jim when I visited Joan at the shore. What a great time we had. I feel lucky to have meet him, even for the short visit.

My prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Love,

Kathy

It's hard to grieve a man like Jim, so full of life he was and so well loved. When such memories are left it speaks to a life well lived. I wish you Chris and the rest of your family comfort during this trying time.

Dear Jim, My mentor and friend. There will always be a special place in my heart for you. I will miss you always. M

My thoughts and prays are with your family.

Chris:

Very sorry to hear of your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers to Jim's family. I knew Jim growing up in Bethlehem and wrestling at Beca. The world has lost a great man. All my sympathy,

Jim,

Thank you for being such a wonderful colleague, mentor and friend to me through the years. In fact, you were one of my best friends. I never will forget you - your spirit and love of life were truly contagious, and left a permanent mark on my soul.

With love and thanks,

Christine,Michael and Kristen,

I was so saddened to hear about Jim's passing. I have only the fondest memories of him as a classmate of his at SS. Simon and Jude school and Beca.

He was quite a guy. One of the nicest ever.

My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Jim was a great colleague and friend. He was very supportive of our clinical efforts and fellowship training. I always felt very much at home with him and had some great times. I will miss him tremendously.

The world has lost a shining star with Jim's passing. He brought such joy, laughter, and happiness to everyone who came into contact with him. He enriched my life so much, and I will forever be grateful and honored to have had Jim as a dear friend. It is not often one is graced to know someone so magnificent. My deepest sympathy to Chris, Michael and Kristin. The world is a better place because of Jim. I will always treasure the many memories I hold dear in my heart of him.

Jim, I will miss your wonderful spirit and zest for life. Our time working together provided great insight into the type of man you were…. professional, full of passion, and high integrity. Jim always focused on patient care and everyone around time trusted him and valued his insights. He will be greatly missed on many levels. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Love & gratitude, Mike

Our hearts are heavy with your loss. Jim will be missed. We hope you find comfort in all your precious memories. We wish the family comfort and peace.

With Love,

Tina, Frank, Zoe and Carly

Dear Christine,

I'm sure you won't remember me, but I met you and Jim at a Muhlenberg alumni event in Philadelphia several years ago. At the time I was working at Muhlenberg in the alumni office. You and Jim made such an impression on me -- so upbeat and friendly. When I saw his name in the Morning Call, my heart sank. I am so very very sorry for your loss. The world has lost a great one. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

With sympathy,

Lauren Greber Shanahan

I worked with Jim for the last 5 years here at Synthes. Jim always made me laugh when we would converse on the phone about the accounts we delt with, and alwyas had a solution for the issues. He will be greatly missed. God bless you Jim, and your family!

Dear Chris -

What a sweet and gentle man you had in your life. I am so sorry for your loss of such a loving person. I always enjoyed our conversations about wrestling, about his parents and life in Bethlehem. Take care of yourself. Margo Clyma

My deepest sympathies in the loss of a truly wonderful man. I worked with Jim at Synthes for many years and consider myself fortunate to have known him. Jim will be greatly missed.

I don't know if there is a candle big enough to light for Uncle Jim. He was one of the best parts of visiting my grandparents as a young kid. I remember him coming home from work at Alpo reeking of dog food and taking me to the movies. His house on State Street in Media, was a refuge during my teens. He was always there for his family and friends, even when you did not know that you needed him.

Jim's spirit will live on in Michael and Kristin.

Jim always made me laugh, his on-the-spot and off-the-cuff impersonations and cadence made working at Synthes that more special. We used to climb stairs at the hotels we stayed at for work to keep in shape. He was a man full of spirit and love of life. But, god, those impersonations will be cherished forever.

I pray all your happy memories help during this difficult time.

Over the years of knowing him I only have fond memories of a family man who loved his family and life. So sorry for the families loss. He was a great person who I am sure will be very sadly missed. Julie Shariq Jason & Ameer

May you rest in peace & your good legacy continue!

Jim-I will miss your friendly voice on the phone and all the funny conversations we had. You impacted my life and I will miss you dearly. Thank you for your friendship
