We
have lost a very sweet person with Jimmy's passing. I'm so glad I grew up with the Porto kids and knew Jimmy all
these years. I'm very grateful that he remained such a good neighbor and friend to my mother, especially as she got
older. It was a comfort to know Jimmy was just down the street from her. I'll miss Jimmy. And the neighborhood we all
loved will never be the same without him.

Jim had a smile for everyone and was always so pleasant to me. I fondly remember the times
he did errands for my mother when she was ill. His willingness to help was always appreciated. Jim was a friend and good
neighbor who was the last one from the "old East Louther Street neighborhood". A sweet soul who will be greatly
missed.

Vicki & Tina, Jimmy was always so
pleasant to be around! Always smiling and talking a mile a minute. He will be missed by many.
Deb _______________
Jimmy was a good Louther Street soul, always engaging me in friendly conversation
when I arrived from out of town, and ready to give a hand to my mother and others in need. What a sad loss. 'Our
Street' is diminished by his passing.
John Hutchinson _______________
Jimmy was such a wonderful person. He was always the funnest person at our family gatherings. I remember
when I was little and getting picked on in school. He flexed his muscles for me and said "Tell those bullies to leave
you alone, or they will deal with your Cousin Jimmy". I will miss him so much. Rest in peace Jimmy. We love you!
Tasha Mannino Dickson _______________
My mother & I worked
with Jim years ago at the Carlisle Ribbon Mill. He always had a smile & would lend her a hand if needed. And when he'd
walk the alley behind my Mom's place, he would always wave hello to her when she was out. Our deepest condolences for
your loss. Something I read once goes - "When you look up at the evening sky, do not think of them as stars, but as
a porch light your loved one turned on to let you know they made it home safely."
Liz & Martha
Myers _______________
Vicki & Tina: We will miss Jimmy
very much. Our hearts are saddened because our family Christmas gatherings, Holiday parties and summer pool gatherings won't
be the same without his jokes, family concerns, pleasant smiles, Chips; and the best for last, "HIMSELF!" Look
down over us Jimmy.
May Perpetual light shine upon him and may he rest in peace, Amen.
Love and miss
you. Cousins: Susie, Ted, Tara, Tyler, Tina & Family, Tasha & Family ______________
Jimmy was our neighbor for many years ,He was a good man and friend and he will be greatly
