If Heaven has a comedy club - you're the new "Headliner"! I'll never forget my leading man in "Monster Soup" (Ms. Ruth's drama class). God has a special place set aside for you.Cindy Gilbert (Slavin)
Jim - You will be missed. You were the life of everybody's party. My 9th grade swimming party was a blast because of you. Saw you at Joey's comedy club. I am so sad to hear of your death.Mark Zuke
Just returned from from Jim's visitation. All the memories of West football, IM basketball and just hanging out with Jim came back. I think if you were to ask everyone in our class, they all would remember Jim. He will be deeply missed.Mark Zuke
Thanks Mike Shelton and Andrew Z of Kiss 92.5 Toledo for the great tribute to Jim. And the pallbearers John Watts, John Sak, Mike Shelton, and Jim's coworkers wearing his West #23 jersey with the name on the back. He would of loved it.

You brought a smile to everyone with your contagious smile and humor! We had such fun times hanging out from elementary through high school. You were the life of the party, especially with your dance moves and the dances. You will be greatly missed and never forgotten!RIP my friend!

Was very sad to hear about Jim's passing. What a shock...I actually just (as in today) found this site and the first thing I find out is that Jim is gone. I was hoping to catch up with him. Lost touch a few years after high school but definitely thought about him from time to time.Wish I'd have tried sooner.John Edwards
