    I was so sorry to read of Jim’s passing. I remember him from back in the 1970s when he played fast-pitch softball and his brother Bob played some too. Jim was a good pitcher and I remember Jennifer being at the games with her mom Barb. Jim was also a really good bowler. I hadn’t seen him for a quite a long time but I remember him well. My sympathies to all the family. Jane Wertz Gundry.

    I am so saddened to here of James passing ! I worked right across the street from Groos Auto and was fortunate to get to know the man we called Jimmy. I worked for and managed the OK Auto for a number years and considered competitors our friends. To Dave and others in the Mileski family you have my sincere condolences. I will never forget the good memories I have of “ Jimmy “ !
    May God comfort your family !
