    I remember Jimmy as a student in my first preschool class in 1963-64. I fell in love with all the Schuler family and had many occasions to gettogether at grama/pa. I had his brother and sister as students as well. His dad was at our house regularly taking care of furnace/air and Mike continues after Jim retired. Love and hugs to you all…may God grant you comfort and peace.

    Jimmy was so modest I never even knew all of that about him and I knew him for 15 years . he spent a lot of time at my house and always cooked for me I was very fat then lol . the last thing he baked for me was a coconut cake for my boyfriend only two months ago. I so miss him. He never complained. my prayers with his family.

    Jimmy was a good friend who I connected with back at East Jr. High (marching band!) and stayed connected through that first year in college. We played a lot of tennis together, and bowled a lot of games at Skyway lanes in that time. We also worked together at A&W for a few years during high school. We shared a lot of good times and commiserated about the bad times together a lot back then. We hadn’t talked for a few years except through Facebook, but I will miss him. He was an important part of my growing up.
