My condolences go out to my sawicki family and even though I haven’t spent any time with any of you to me you’re still and always will be family. Jim was always like a father to me a father I never really had and I will always be grateful for the love that he has shown me throughout the years he will be missed but never forgotten God bless you all 💐🌹🙏🙏
Jim was the best neighbor anyone could ask for. I’ll never forget how sweet, loving, and caring he was. Jim was the neighbor who would literally shovel our driveway and sidewalk himself if he knew we were out of town or at work so we wouldn’t have to when we returned. I remember always mowing the lawn and then running into Jim as he was doing yard work. It wouldn’t just be a hi and move on, we would stop what we were doing and catch up on life. We’d talk about the weather, news, work, school… literally everything and he always had a positive attitude and smile on his face.
God bless Jim and God bless his family. I’ll never forget how blessed I was to be his neighbor for 30 years.
Condolences to the Zywicki family on the loss of Jim. Jim and I worked at the same company and there were times I needed his help with things he was always willing to help. He was a great guy. Sending thoughts and prayers to all of the family. Remember all of the good times you have had with him.
My deepest condolences. He was a great person always available to teach all the kids growing up sports. he will be dearly missed. Thank you for the great memories.
I was so sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. I remember babysitting for his two older kids on many occasions. He was the best payer for babysitting that I had! He was my eldest cousin on my mom’s side, and I have many happy memories of holiday celebrations with him and the rest of our family. My mom remembers him dearly as she was still in high school when he was born and they lived upstairs in my grandparents duplex. My mom spent a lot of time with Jim. She told me the other day that Jim didn’t like my dad when he was little, because my mom was spending time with him rather than with Jim! He was an unbelievably loving and caring grandson to our grandma taking care of so many of her needs, including her lawn and snow, for so many years when she was in her duplex. He was very loved and respected. My thoughts go out to the family, especially Cindy. It’s so difficult to lose a spouse.
Love,
Nancy
I, too, am Jim’s cousin on his mother Elaine’s side and agree with everything my sister Nancy has just said. Jim was our oldest cousin and I always remember him being very kind to everyone and, indeed, especially to our “Grandma K.” He would drive her back and forth to Bingo and after bringing her into the house, do all the dishes piled up in her sink.. I love the picture posted here of Jim with the fish. Our only vacation as children was to go “Up North” and horn in on the annual Zywicki cottage week with, I imagine, the Webers. Jim and his dad and brothers would fish all week and at the end of the week, we had a big fish fry. It was the first time I ate blue gill and I still remember loving it. My parents, however, were not exactly into nature and fishing, and we never returned for a summer vacation so it’s pretty memorable. After our Aunt Elaine, Uncle Augie and Grandma K. died, our two families didn’t see each other anymore but that can’t dampen the memories of our fun holiday times growing up and visits to each other’s homes when we were young. Cind,y, my deepest condolences to you, your sons and extended family.. Jim will be greatly missed.
Love, Lorna

A poemI wrote for you
I can remember sitting outside the hospital when my sister, Elaine, was delivering Jim. I was so excited to have my first nephew and we were very close. He used to call me Auntie Lolly. I would come home from work and take him down to the creek because he liked to see the fish. I also used to buy him little presents and when I would see him he would ask, “What did you buy me today?” So I figured I needed to stop spoiling him so much. And I have so many more memories. I am so sad to hear of his passing. Cindy, you and your family have all my sympathy.

Cindy, my condolences to you and your family’s loss. I have wonderful memories, too. Jim and I had a lot of fun bantering with each other. At times we would talk about the other’s nose. So one year for his birthday, I crocheted him a nose warmer. And we laughed and laughed and laughed. We CONSISTENTLY teased each other. The first time I met him and his family, I left in tears from all the teasing as I thought they did not like me. Only later to learn that was a compliment. I am grateful to have had Jim in my life. Rest in peace, Jim.

We lost a wonderful member of our family. Jim was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. I admired his organization and attention to detail in everything he did. Jim appreciated real work and values. I know for sure he was a great man because Jim and Cindy blessed me with a wonderful Jim as well.
Jim will be greatly missed and appreciated for the time and memories we created.
We have now gained an angel that we know by name (Jim). Everyone needs a Jim in their lives!
Let me begin with my condolences to Cindy & his whole family. Jim was so much like his dad, Augie. Both were loving, quiet men who would do anything for people. Jim & I would take turns taking grandma shopping. There were times I would be dropping grandma off at home & he would be cutting her grass or other chores. He was the best example for many including his little cousin (me). Jim you will be missed & thank you for your quiet examples of love.
