Obituaries/Tributes

Jimmy was my cousin. His Mother Mary and my Mother Betty were sisters and were the best of friends all their lives. When Aunt Mary and Uncle Johnny had Jimmy they were blessed with a wonderful and happy child. He grew up to be charming with a great personality. The man was a triumph. He loved his daughters and their families. His wife Huguette gave him pure joy and constant love and care. Condolences to all of the Beccaris' family. Sincerely, Shirley and Bob Worsley, South Jersey.

I was sad to hear the passing of "Jimmy" as I knew him in the late 50's &60's. I was the babysitter for his girls, Jack & Janelle. The family was great to me. He did treat all people with respect. Thought of often and missed. Rest in peace! Cathy "Langdon" Mullay Mentor,OH. formally from Plains

It is with a heavy heart that we wish the deepest sympathy to Huguette, Jackie, Mark, Janelle, Larry, their families and my dad and mom (Jack & Jeanne). Working on the sales floor & in the back office at Jay-Dee when I was a kid was a learning experience that shaped my life. Uncle Jim was always so kind and understanding with the customers, I watched and learned how he made people feel like he knew them for years (in many cases he did)! His infectious laugh was always heard throughout the store. One summer when I worked the phones, I learned quickly that anyone who called asking for "Chuck" had not idea who they were calling. Jay-Dee was a great place to be. I was proud to work there and answer the forever repetitious question, "Are you Jimmy or Jackie's daughter?" To this day, I use the skills of salesmanship I learned on the floor at Jay-Dee. I also remember hot summer days swimming in the pool on Price Street. Nanny & Grampy and Dolores & Bob would be set up on chairs in the carport as my brother and I would walk passed looking for iced tea. As we age random memories stick, this was one of them. Uncle Jim will be missed by so many and forever touched by his outgoing personality. Rest in Peace Gerard & Jill (Beccaris) Pescatore & Ethan

My sympathies to the family.
