A good friend and tremendous athlete,
Jim willl be missed by many. My deepest sympathy goes out to his surviving loved ones. I can remember those days of endless marathon basketball games at Valley St Park. He was so dominating on the court with an unbelieveable "jump" shot that was just untouchable. He took great pride in all his accomplishments and he will be missed. Jim, until we can play a pick up game again, may God Bless you and your family. Rest in Peace!!! ~ Mark Bohunicky

To the Willsey Family,
I am deeply saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Jim. We were very close childhood friends having spent countless hours playing baseball in his grandparents back yard on Gerard Ave and basketball and football on countless venues through the old neighborhood.
Although we had not stayed in contact I still carry those memories with me.
Bobbie, he was a great friend and even greater son.
With my deepest sympathy. ~ Steve Semcho, Cary, North Carolina

Anna, Julianna, Shalee, and all of Jim's family,
I am saddend and a loss for words when I heard about Jim's sudden passing. I have many fond memories of Jim when I worked with him at Jack Sherman Toyota.
His sense of humor was always welcome during those long days at the dealership and his definition of a "First Ward Oil Change".
I know he cared greatly for his family and I am sorry for your loss.
