January 2, 1958-September 19, 2010
Jim was a great son, brother, husband, father, son-in-law, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin, and friend. This symbolizes a little of what made him the man we all know and loved. The fabric used is from the jeans and t-shirt he would always wear. He was a simple man and always willing to talk and share his ideas on life. He is greatly loved by his wife Tammy and 2 children, Anthony & Andrea, of whom he is proud of. He was an entrepreneur and started many businesses. The one dearest to him was his gym, "Jimmy's Gym." It was there that he spent much time mentoring others. Weight lifting, fast cars, and Valley Forge Military College were his strong passions. He also enjoyed family trips to the beach, listening to oldies on the porch, and talking about food. He loved to share his love of music and bizarre sense of humor with his kids. The Three Stooges and The Beach Boys were a favorite. I once read, "Although I loved you dearly I couldn't make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me He only takes the best." We all miss and love you and know that this broken chain will someday be together again. It is through his gift of sight it gives us peace knowing that someone may enjoy the sight of birds as he did.
Love always, Tammy, Anthony, Andrea and the rest of your family.
