Jeanne and I were so very sorry to hear about the passing of Jim. He was an inspiration to all the firemen who worked for him, and he was a valued employee at the DRPA. I had the honor and privilege to have worked with Jim at the DRPA, and, the pleasure of of his company on numerous social events. Jim was a great guy, and will surely be missed.
May he rest in peace, and may his family members find comfort in knowing he is with our Lord.

So sorry for your loss. Jim was and is a great guy. I always enjoyed his military stories and setting up Hospitality Sunday with him and Barbara. Waiting for their car to pull up to unload the bagels and donuts. He was a good friend to us and the church community. He will be missed. My heart goes out to Barbara and family during this difficult time. Love to all. God Bless.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Dear Barbara & family,
We were so saddened to hear about Jim's passing. He had a great sense of humor, which we will always remember. I will particularly remember his jokes (and how funny he thought they were) when I worked at St Charles with you and we had lunch all together. We have some great memories of him, as I am sure many others do as well. Keeping you and your family in our prayers ...… Lisa & Charlie

I worked with Jim for a few years at the Philadelphia Inquirer while I was in the Human Resources department and Safety was reporting up to HR at that time. Our offices were just a couple doors away from each other. I’ll always remember him as a sweet, nice, funny man. He could always make me laugh. My sincerest condolences to his family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'd like to share some real hope with you. In Psalms 146:4 tells the condition of the dead. In Acts 24:15 the bible promises a resurrection of our loved ones back to earth. When Jesus resurrected Lazarus from the dead, he brought him back to earth. That was a foregleam of the future. In Psalms 37:11+29 says man will live forever on the earth in peace. That was God's original purpose, for man to live forever in the garden of eden. God's purpose hasn't changed. In Isaiah 45:18 says God created the earth to be inhabited. That's why he gave his son to die for us, John 3:16, so we could have everlasting life on earth. In Revelation 21:4 says there'll be no more pain or death. Since there's no pain or death in heaven, those are future conditions on earth under God's kingdom arrangement. JW.org
