We were so surprised and saddened to get the news of Jim’s passing. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting and socializing with him and Laurie. Any event we would be attending that I knew Jim would be present, I always looked forward to simply conversing with him about any topic that might pop up. Through his quiet wisdom he could enjoyably converse about most anything. His love for baseball (he was the Official Scorer for the Vero Beach Dodgers), and his recollections through his passion for the game instilled fond memories of Yesteryear’s national pastime. R.I.P. dear friend, and GodBless.

Jim was one of our Saturday Golfers from the Elks 1774 lodge. He will be greatly missed each Saturday morning.

It was great to have known him the past few years, truly a great friend.

Bill Schubert and the Saturday golfers.

My heartfelt condolences go out to you my dear friend Laurie and your family. We first knew Jim many years ago when many of us were aspiring teachers . We knick- named him Jim Flowers because we didn’t know his last name. He sent our Laurie flowers after meeting her for the first time. She was smitten and the rest is history. He will be truly missed.❤️

Our deepest condolences to Laurie and her family. Jim was a quiet gentle sole which we had the pleasure to socialize with in many pickleball functions. He was always willing to fit in and help out, a true gentleman and kind sole you will certainly be missed by all. RIP

David and I were absolutely shocked at this sad news. It was only 3-4 months ago that we had dinner with Jim and Laurie. We considered Jim a good friend and a good man. He will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace dear friend.

Laurie and family, Tim and I are deeply saddened to learn of Jim’s sudden death. Although we are far away, we keep you close in our hearts & prayers. Sending much love and condolences to you at this heart-rending time.

I knew Jim from our club gatherings and found him to be such a cheerful and friendly man, so in love with his wife, and she with him. As with all our members I mourn his loss, and wish is wife Laurie to find the strength to carry on, and I know she we will. He was loved by all, a true gentleman and a good man. RIP my friend.

Jim was a great guy, loved by all, especially his wife Laura. Always a smile on his face, a true gentleman. It was my pleasure to have met him on occasion and to share some kind words. You will be missed dearly.

So saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. Remember all the fun times we had. Much love to”Lori” and family. May God hold him close. Sue & Fred

Laura, so saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. What wonderful memories of you both during the time I spent getting to know you in Old Tappan. He was so supportive of you as we tried our best to make it as thespians and so gracious to us as he allowed you to open your beautiful home together for extra rehearsals and after parties. May he soar to Heaven on Eagle’s Wings and rest in peace ️️️ Bob and I send you our deepest sympathy and hope that the wonderful memories you made together over the past 40 years will enfold you and loving friends and family surround you with

It’s a sad day for all who knew Jim and my love and hugs go out to his very large and loving family. My best memories of Jim go back to his Washington Heights days when we were very young. Did you know Jim was New Jersey State Judo Champion? And owned and ran his own Judo School? My favorite memory is when he took me to the NJ State Judo Championships. It was amazing and remains a clear visual memory. I still have a photo of both his little sons in Judo outfits. We love you Jimbo! RIP! ToniB

Laura, I just heard of Jim’s passing and offer my deepest condolences. Just the other day I was talking to Gretchen Miller about all the good times we had during Little League. May Jim rest in peace.

Shocked and saddened by the passing of Jim. For years he and I coached a traveling baseball team in Old Tappan and it was an amazing time. I smile when I think of the terrific drinking times we had together.
