The two of them were the embodiment of what marriage is supposed to be, love, work, commitment, and more love.

Jim was a member and formerly an usher at San Pedro Catholic Church. He drove for Don Gasgarth Ford. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, cooking, and making people happy. No one ever left his house hungry or wanting for drink. He was the biggest Eagles fan ever! Chuck Bednarik, known as one of the most devastating tacklers in the history of football, kissed Jim's Eagles ring. Jim was also fortunate enough to enjoy an Eagles' game from Leonard Tose's (previous Eagle's owner) box. His spirit for the Eagles was never-ending! He bled green. Jim (Pop Pop) will never be forgotten! His memories and stories will be passed on for years to come! Fly, Eagles Fly!
