RIP my friend. Jim will be truly missed. Sun City Huntley has lost a giant.
I'm so glad we got to catch-up on things in your garage at St Josephs get-together's. You will be missed, rest in peace cuz!
The miles between us made it difficult to be as close as I would have liked, but in Spirit, I always felt close to you and your family .. You and your family always had a special place in my heart. I never really liked Cigars or Golf, but maybe when we get together again we'll play a round. I love you and I will miss you and I pray that your wonderful family will have the necessary strength to see them through this time. GOD BLESS US ONE AND ALL. (1st.Cousin) Robert and Linda Esposito
