Jim and I grew up together living only a couple of blocks apart. We played football for St. Patrick 's, played together after school until our moms would have dinner ready, and while we went to different high schools stayed in touch until both of us went into service. I will always remember him as a quiet, brave and good friend. God bless him, our country and his family.

I served with Jim in the Marine Corps and I have considered him my brother ever since. He would have taken a bullet for me and I for him. A good Man and a good Marine. He will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to Alice and the family. Being a good Marine, I know Luke will be standing tall, smiling, at the gate when I come marching through and that makes me feel better. Semper Fi Luke...
