We miss our smart, trusted, honest, dependable friend and gentleman. 'Nunzi' was a gifted and celebrated athlete, my USD classmate, roommate, fellow Marine and International Harvester employee. He out-sang, out-danced, out-worked and out-funned everyone. God loaned him to us to share 62 years of kindness and thoughtfulness. John & Maribeth Rodee USD '63 & '65

I have such fond memories of Jim when we were all young kids from homes on Dunn Ave and Woodlawn Ave. Jim and “Jake” Jackson were the older ones who always watched over us younger ones... they were our Protectors. They had a great deal of patience and even played softball with us even though it probably was laughable when we were learning. In our later years, I admired Jim and his whole family. Wonderful people.

I remember him being such a nice man and always had a smile. I loved playing cribbage with Jim, Mr. Murray and my dad (Tom) at Hidden Valley. Fond memories

So many great memories of the trips and our summers at Hidden Valley. “Jimmer” was a true friend and will never be forgotten.

Jim was "tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, empathetic with the striving, tolerant with the weak and wrong." May we resolve to follow Jim's example because "sometime in our lives we will have been all of these."

I met Jim in the early two thousands when he moved to West Palm Beach. Jim and I became life long friends. We spent many days on the golf course strengthening our relationship which was strong and true. We called each other "brother". Our favorite saying was "you should have hit your second ball first." Our friendship extended to our wives and the 4 of us spent many fun times together creating life long memories. I will miss our phone calls but know that I will think of Jim often with a smile. Rest in Peace dear friend! Don & Harriet Fortin West Palm Beach, FL

I am very saddened to hear that Jim has passed. We grew up together on the East Side of Jamestown. Jim was the best athlete in the city as a young man. Who can forget the great game he played for Washington Jr High beating Lincoln Jr. High. Our gang on the East Side was always playing football trying to tackle Jim. I moved to Rochester 33 years ago but used to find Jim at the St. Johns family picnic selling Cardonne sandwiches with the Cardonne Platoon. So many memories of Jim and our growing up on the East Side. I wish to send my sincere condolences to Jim's family. Rest in peace Jim.
