I had the pleasure of knowing Jimmy through my son-in-law Gino and his smile and friendly personality was always present. He was such a nice man and I’m happy I got to spent several Christmas days with him and his family. May you rest in eternal peace. No more pain, only peace and happiness

Being your little neighbor all my life you were always a big part of our Ficara Family. I remember when I was being bullied in Elementary school by Jr HS students, you came up to the school to confront anyone that bothered me and to put a stop to it. Always Happy and willing to help. Rest easy and pain free in Heaven❤️ Susan Morrison

To the Rapczyk Family, Sending you all so much love and our deepest condolences. James was truly one of a kind—a "gentle giant" who could fix a broken engine with one hand and make an entire room feel at ease with the other. He left such a beautiful mark on everyone who knew him, and the world feels a little quieter without his warm smile. A Memory of James When we think of James, our minds immediately go back to the celebration of James Jr.’s wedding and that legendary bachelor’s party. At the bachelor party, James was in his absolute element. While the younger crowd was busy trying to act "cool," James was the one actually keeping the wheels on the bus (and probably literally checking the tire pressure on the way there). With that classic "well aware" look in his eye, he’d just watch the chaos unfold with a smirk, occasionally dropping a one-liner that would have us all in stitches. He had that rare gift of being the most responsible man in the room while simultaneously being the most fun to be around. Then came the wedding. We’ll never forget seeing him—this big, burly man who grew up on tractors and printing presses—looking so incredibly proud in his suit. He had this way of moving through the crowd where he’d stop to help someone fix a centerpiece or adjust a tie, his hands never quite staying still. He was the steady anchor of the whole event. We laughed so much that weekend, and it’s a testament to James that even in the middle of a party, you felt safer and happier just knowing he was nearby. He wasn't just the life of the party; he was the heart of it. James was a man of quiet conviction and loud laughter, and we are so grateful we got to share those moments with him. We are keeping Dianne, the kids, and the grandkids in our thoughts and prayers. With love and sympathy, The Soriano-Flood Family
