I will miss you Uncle Jimmy! My best memory was coming to Florida for spring break with one of my friends. He made sure we had a great time and took us to the beach. We all got so sunburned and he just laughed at us because it did not affect him. A few days later after I left he called me, saying his ankles had gotten so swollen he could not put on shoes. The sun got him after all, lol. He is a great man and will be missed by many. I Love You Uncle Jimmy! Shawn Jazdzewski

I have so many great memories that I could write a book. He always had a smile on his face when I would see him and he would say to me Bueno Mon Bueno what’s up? That was my nickname he had for me but mostly he called Bueno or sometimes he would switch it up and call me Mon Buen.
Uncle Jimmy was like a big brother to me, he was so much fun to be around and I always had a good time with him. When I was a teenager he and Aunt Cindy helped guide me down a good path in life and it has always stuck with me. He was a good man, hardworking man and a man that had a profound impact on my life. I wish every kid had an “Uncle Jimmy” in their life. I will miss you “Jazzman” dearly.

I am so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. I remember him fondly from the Nedrebo days! He was a really nice guy. I have no doubt he will be missed more than words can say. Only the good die young! My deepest sympathies to Cindy and the girls!

Jim made us feel more than welcome when we moved in next door to him last year. We became fast friends, he always had a smile and a kind word.
