I CURRENTLY LIVE IN FLORIDA . WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS I WAS DEVESTATED. JIM AND I BOWLED MANY A LEAGUES AND TOURNAMENTS TOGETHER WHERE WE BECAME VERY GOOD FRIENDS. MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL HIS FAMILY.
HE TRULY WAS A GOOD AND GRACIOUS MAN.

parge was the greatest.life is not the same without you

I Luv Parg...Wyatt's unofficial godfather...the neighborhood's godfather. Rest in peace, my friend.

There will never be anyone like Jim. His love for his family and friends, big heart, enthusiasm, incredible generosity, good humor, and dedication to the community made him one of a kind. He was a hero to all of us and we will miss him profoundly.

Parge, man, you are so missed already! I think about you often, with a tear and a smile. I will do my best to always practice the life lessons you taught me.
