"My prayers are with you in this time of loss. I worked with Jim at Schwab. He was very nice he had a contagious laugh. He loved to tease me about how much I knew about the Marines because I watched NCIS. He had the best smile. He will be missed."

"I had the pleasure of working next to Jim for a couple years at Schwab and knew from the first time we spoke he was such a genuinely nice and caring guy. My deepest condolences go out to Jim's family during this time. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers."
"Jim was a few years older than my son, my heart hurts. His parents, Teresa and Jim, were neighbors in Brook Forest on Devonshire Dr. (which was fondly known as ?Meatball Ave?). Many great times on Devonshire Drive, mostly Italian families accept for the Suchy?s (almost everyone had their hair cut at Such?s Barbershop - so they were ?adopted? so to speak). Jim grew up in a wonderful home with a loving family. God gave him a good life, rest in peace Jimmy Guido!"
