The earliest memory I have of Jimmy is when we were playing ball in our front yard, and he hit the ball right through the window in our house. I can still picture the look on his face when it happened. I think it was during the picnic that I made my first communion so I was six years old. Once my dad got the pool table in the basement that’s where all the older kids gathered. I remember watching him and Bobby and Gary play. They seemed to enjoy each other‘s company and it was fun watching them. When I was in high school I used to walk over to CEAC after school and I worked with him in the lab room. Mostly filling paste tubes. We used to talk about music and school and other things. We didn’t always agree, but that never mattered. I enjoyed those conversations. For me it was like having an older brother. One time he came to my rescue by changing a flat tire. I called and he came right over to fix it. Just like an older brother would. I credit him with my getting an A in gym class (my only A in gym class) when I had Mr. Westlake. Mr. Westlake always asked about him and would comment about what a good football player he was and how he wished he had more players like him. And at my wedding, when it was time for the groom to feed the bride, his comment was the one I heard, reminding Tim that he didn’t have to wash the dishes, making me laugh so hard. Godspeed Jimmy. Until we meet again.

Hello all who love my cousin Jimmy. I do not have a certain memory to share, Jimmy was the best. A true sweetheart. I looked up to him as a younger cousin and admired him greatly. I loved the whole family, my times visiting all of my cousins in Ct. Are the happiest of times. I believed that Jimmy’s mom my Aunt Terry “my fairy godmother “ could fly! I remember seeing Kenny laughing when she told me she flew to fairy godmother land to bring me Captain Crunch with berries. Jimmy assured it. So much more, I can’t express it all. I love you Jimmy, I love my cousins all of you forever ❤️ He protected the childhood innocence.

I remember the 4 th of July picnics on Surrey Trail. Combination of Elaine, Kenny and Grandpa's Birthdays. I mostly hung out in the garage where the beer kegs were. Jimmy was there and he showed me how to work the keg with every detail possible, he educated me and I was grateful. 10 minutes passed while I held my cup hoping he would fill it for me. I circled around the back yard and found Danny who gave me a half filled cup. I was thrilled! ms appreciated Jimmy looking out for me.

I remember growing up and Jimmy was the “protector” of all the “youngers” on our block. He always had a smile, an encouraging word, and was always positive. God bless, Jimmy, there is a special place in Heaven for you.

Jim was always the voice of reason and kind guidance to our roaming neighborhood childhood crew. It sounds like he continued a life of kindness and compassion for others as an adult. Dearest Jossick family please know the Lee family sends their love and condolences.

Dearest Lorraine, Danny, Ami ... and entire Jossick family. Everyone has strong memories of Jim both during and still after school, myself very much included. He was and remains in hearts as a pillar of authenticity and warmth. What a soul. So strong, genuine, safe. A definition of the word friend. Condolences to you all, Vicki Goggin

Sad to hear of his passing. It was a good friend in high school. It is pretty funny that he bought my parents house in Newtown and lived there for a number of years. I’m not sure how long. To the family always think of him that’s what he would want
