Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jimmy's family. His brother, Jerry and I have enjoyed a long and close friendship. I know that jimmy has found peace with his God.
I am sorry to hear of the passing of Jimmy. It seems that more and more of the old CZP are no longer with us. I worked with Jimmy in the Detective Office and again with US Customs in the Florida Keys. Jimmy was quite a man, pesonally and professionally. I will always respect him. He taught me so much.
One of the most street-wise cops I have known. WE all love Jimmy.
I served w/ Jimmy on the CZ Police force and have only great mem. of an Officer that made us all proud to have served with him. Goodbye and God welcome you into a higher force. always Nick
As a child I was alway excited to know that my Uncle Jim and Aunt Gladys were coming to visit our family, whether we lived in Cocoli or Farfan. He was just the greatest Uncle anybody could ask for! His stories were incredible. To my Aunt Gladys, cousins Ana, Christian and Jenny, I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Jim was a great husband to my Aunt and a great father to you all. In my memories, what I remember was a lot of happiness and love in your family. I will always have fond memories of your father. Love, Joanne

So sorry to hear the news. My thoughts and prayers are with all of Jimmy's family and friends. May good memories bring you comfort.
Jimmy and I were accepted to the CZ Police in 1964. Eventually we both were promoted to detective and worked narcotics. During that time we became very close. Jimmy became like a brother to me, and certainly a best friend. Not long ago Ilka and I visited Jimmy in Houston, and found him to be very sick and in a lot of pain. Even at that Jimmy and I reminised about old times and had a great visit. I don't want to remember that Jimmy I want to remember Jimmy the dedicated Officer, the guy who loved his job and the joker. I remember Jimmy solvng a problem of trespassing at the Lepor Colony by administering a few right front and left rears. We found the culprits cars hidden in the brush and Jimmy would let the air out of the right front tire and the left rear tire. A few of those, word traveled fast and the problem was solved, much faster than with Judge Deming's help. Also the stake out under the little bridge on Palo Seco Rd., the time he and Sgt. Thrift sent Joe Garcia and I looking for the ship Looflirpa (April Fool spelled backwards) loaded with cocaine, the time he ran out of the back door of the detective office and had about 5 detectives running all over the place to see what was going on only to fnd that Jimmy had ran around the building returned to his desk and was waiting for us to return while he laughed himself silly, but I got him good one night I coated the rubber eye piece on the night vision device with grease, I pretended to be looking at some activity in the bay and asked Jimmy to take a look, he did and walked around the rest of the shift with a big black ring around his eye.
I'll miss you Jimmy, but I know you're not in pain anymore and are in a better place. I couldn't have asked for a better FRIEND and PARTNER.
