You have my deepest sympathies. It is so very hard to loose a parent. You think of all the things you wanted to tell them, or talk to them about. The only comfort is that they no longer hurt, can now do all the things they liked to do, and will be waiting on the other side.

So sorry to hear about Uncle Jimmy's passing. He was a truly wonderful and compassionate man. I'm honored to have had him as an uncle. Great memories of family visits throughout my childhood grew into tremendous respect for the entire Kocanda family throughout my life. God bless you Uncle Jimmy. You will never be forgotton. Glen Benrus & family.

Good memories of my father-in-law Jim, he had a mechanical aptitude because he tried to teach me how to use the slide rule, a long-forgotten art. He had strong family principles but had a sense of humor and also welcoming. He loved his family and friends with compassion. He was a proud man who provided for his family even in tough times. He will be missed dearly may his memory be eternal. Rest in peace, Dad.

My sincere condolences on the loss of one of my favorite uncles while I was growing up. I will always remember his kind and soft spoken demeanor. Someone you were always happy to see... someone who always made you feel very comfortable. A voice and a laugh that I can still hear. Rest in Peace Uncle Jimmy. You will be missed by many.
