I remember Jim from Yoga Class. He always impressed me with his ability to keep up with us and being ok when he couldn't. Jim was a lovely and kind man and I for one will miss him. Doris Brooks
Uncle Jim always had a smile on his face. He would always ask about my family and really listened. My favorite memories of him are when he and Aunt Claire would have all of us over for a party. I can't remember the dogs name but we played in the basement and rode in his red car! I also loved when he lived in Deerfield and had summer parties. He truly was a great man and I am proud that he was my Uncle!
Love you always,

Uncle Jim reached out and was very compassionate when my Dad / Jim's brother Bill passed a few years ago. He and I had some great conversations at that time. Jim was the oldest and my dad said Jim was a 'tough guy' when they were young (probably because Bill was kid #2). Jim had a big heart. He was one of a handful of people who always called me "Tommy". Praying for peace for Boo and the family.
My favorite Memory of uncle Jim was playing tennis with him at his club in Deerfield when we were young. My wife and I were lucky to spend time with him and Boo a few years ago when we were in Florida. I loved him very much and will miss his great spirit. My prayers go out to his family. I miss you guys too. Love Donny.
I think my favorite memory of Uncle Jim is when we were all younger and he would give us rides in his red convertible. How we all squealed and laughed. We couldn't get enough of that. It was always a good time with him. I haven't seen him in many years but I was lucky enough to talk to him several times when he called my Mom. I was fortunate to have him as not only an Uncle but as a Godfather! I will truly miss him.
To Bu and Jim's family, I was so saddened to see Jim had passed away. I have taken yoga with Jim for 12 years and have so enjoyed getting to know him. I'm a snowbird and would only see Jim in the winter months, but we were always happy to see each other and talk about his tennis game or our gym work outs. I last saw him just about a year ago when yoga group went to the Thai House for lunch and I sat next to Jim and had a nice conversation! I will certainly miss Jim, my sincere condolences to you.
