I first met Jim and Ann at a prayer meeting, at CTK Church, more than 14 years, ago. My beloved sister-in-law was gravely ill, and the love, faith and compassion I received was so incredibly precious to me, then, and has continued to be, all through these years, since! I have had many conversations with Jim, discussing our faith, our trials and the gift of our friendship. He was always upbeat, even when his health took a turn for the worst, and he never wavered in proclaiming his undying love for God! His devotion to his beautiful wife, Ann, his family and his faith, his warmth, his genuine kindness and his playful spirit were ALWAYS a delight to behold! He would call me: "Kid" and "Dear", and he would make me laugh! I will forever cherish the times we shared and the warmth of his loving heart!!! I know he is with the Lord and that his legacy is one of love, faith, devotion, commitment, humility and kindness!!! His beautiful light will forever shine in my heart, and I will always remember him and his joy-filled spirit! May God rest his priceless soul and grant comfort to his loved ones! Maria DiGiorgio

Hard to believe it's 30+ years ago that I met Jim and Ann at a Bible study at CTK. Jim's fearless faith and Ann's warmth and kindness drew me to return to the group whenever I could. I watched this small group remain faithful to the Lord in heartfelt genuine love through the decades. Praying for, loving, and supporting each other. An honor to be a part of it, and the set aside commitment to time with God had great impact on me. The last time I saw Jim, he was so weak physically but his eyes were full of life. He called me over, and was having much difficulty speaking. As I got my ear close to hear he spoke a word of encouragement about something in my life that was a direct deposit from the Holy Spirit to me. I will never forget those words. Today's reading at mass was about Moses, though he was 102, his eyes had not dimmed. I immediately thought of Jim. What a beautiful legacy he leaves.

20 years ago I came into this family uncertain of how I would be accepted and definitely a little nervous. I remember Scott saying we're going to go to dinner at my Dad & Ann's. The anxiety started taking over and I immediately thought maybe it would be easier if we were going out to a restaurant or if other people were there and a million other things that may make for an easy transition. But dinner at the house was what it would be, I walked in and it didn't take very long for my stress level to drop and my comfort level rose. Of course Ann immediately made me feel like family but Dad's stories, prayers and smiles made me feel like everything was going to be okay. From then to now all these years later and all the ups and downs life has brought it's been an honor to call him Dad. I always say it takes a special person to choose to be a father figure to someone and I have been lucky enough to have two men in my life that made that choice. You will be missed by many but there will be a hole in our family that could never be filled. Rest in peace Dad say Hi to my Dad for me and give him a big hug. I love you and now I know that everything really is and will always be "excellent".

Rest in Peace. Jim and Ann have always been loving, kind, caring supportive friends. I always described them as the holiest people I know. Now Jim you can rest with the angels.
