We are so sorry and sad to hear of the passing of "Uncle Jimmy". I have known him since I was a child. He and "Aunt Judy" were best friends to my mom since high school and he will be dearly missed. They were always so good to our family and remained best friends to my mom and Paul. We enjoyed seeing Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Judy in their beautiful new place last Fall. All seemed wonderful, making his sudden passing incredibly sad. In my memories of Uncle Jim, he was always happy, smart, full of energy, funny and just a "super nice guy". May God bless Uncle Jim (and give him the materials to build the coolest bocce court in heaven) and may God comfort his loving family. With sincere sympathy, Fred & Lisa James
Lee and I knew Jim for a short period of time but in that time he became a friend. He welcomed us to Independence, took us under his wing, as did Judy. They got us involved in bocce which we love. Jim did the measurements and used his dollar bill to decide our "bocce fate". He took the time to improve the score board at the bocce court. It will be there in all its glory to remind us of him. Jim (and Judy) took us to lunch, entertained us at their house, got Lee involved with the bowling league and introduced us to the neighbors. They really made us feel so welcome. And all of our neighbors are great but there is a special place in our hearts for Jim. We will miss him very much. Hugs, Barbara and Lee Shorter

TOMMY AND I WON THE LOTTERY WHEN GOD HANDED OUT PARENTS. WE NEVER WANTED FOR ANYTHING.MY DAD TAUGHT ME MANY LESSONS. WHEN HE BOUGHT ME MY FIRST CAR (AN ORANGE CAMERO). HE SAID I DON"T WANT YOU TO EVER BE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IN THE DAYS OF NO CELL PHONES. SO HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO CHANGE A TIRE, ADD OIL TO THE CAR AND TO OPEN UP THE CARBERATOR IF THE ENGINE DIDN'T TURN OVER.ONE SUMMER HIS MOTHER/MY GRANDMOTHER (A TYPICAL ITALIAN WOMAN) SPENT A SUMMER WITH US. SHE TOLD ME I SHOULD BE DOING MY BROTHERS LAUNDRY AND MY DAD SAID TO HER "THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THIS HOUSE WOMEN & MEN ARE TREATED EQUALLY."WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER I HAD A SCIENCE PROJECT TO DRAW THE ANATOMY OF A CAT. MY DAD WAS A GREAT ARTIST. HE TOOK OVER, I WENT TO BED. THE NEXT MORNING THE WHOLE PROJECT WAS DONE. WHEN HE GOT HOME THAT DAY HE ASKED SO WHAT GRADE DID YOU GET? I SAID YOU GOT AN A.WHEN PRESIDENT LINCOLN DIED. EDWIN STANTON SAID NOW HE BELONGS TO THE AGES. MY MOM & DAD HAD A LOVE THAT BELONGS TO THE AGES. MY PARENTS STILL HELD HANDS EVEN UP TO THIS PAST NOVEMBER WHEN I SPENT A WEEK WITH THEM. YOU COULD SEE THE LOVE IN THEIR EYES FOR EACH OTHER. IT ALWAYS MADE ME SO HAPPY AND SECURE TO KNOW I HAD PARENTS WHO LOVED EACH OTHER SO MUCH.WHEN THEY LIVED IN WOODSTOWN, NJ AND MENTIONED THEIR DEAR FRIENDS ALL I EVER HEARD OF WAS JACK AND NANCY AND MY AUNT MARYANN AND UNCLE PAUL. THEY ARE STILL THEIR BEST FRIENDS. BUT NOW SINCE THEY MOVED TO DELAWARE AT INDEPENENCE ALL THE NAMES I HEAR KNOW ARE EMILY, JACKIE AND RANDY, BARBARA & KEN, SUE AND JUDY, BARBARA & LEE, MARTHA AND RICK AND ANOTHER BARBARA AND THOSE ARE JUST THE FEW OF THE NAMES I CAN REMEMBER. OUR DAD MAY HAVE BEEN SHORT IN STATURE BUT HE WAS THE STRONGEST MAN PHYSICALLY I HAVE EVER KNOW. HE FOUGHT SO HARD FOR 6 WEEKS TO COME HOME TO OUR FAMILY BUT IN THE END HE ASKED US TO LET HIM GO.MY DADS ENTIRE LIFE OF 85 YEARS WAS FILLED WITH LOTS OF ENERGY, MANY ACTIVITIES AND ADVENTURES. A MARRIAGE OF 60 YEARS TO THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE AND 2 DEEPLY DEVOTED CHILDREN. AS I GRIEVE FOR MY FATHERS LOSS I THINK OF THIS AND REALIZE HOW THIS GIVES ME SOME SOLICE TO KNOW THAT HE HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE AND HELPED TO MAKE ME THE PERSON I AM TODAY.

Our Dearest Judy and Family, Our hearts are broken over the loss of your beloved Jimmy and our most loved friend.Jimmy was a man of style and class. We meet him driving his powder-blue Pontiac convertible, with "Bopp" on the license plate. He was a most loving and devoted husband, amazing father and treasured friend. Jimmy's marriage to Judy was a match made in heaven. Their life journey together is a one of a kind story, that we were blessed to be a part of. As life long friends we traveled land and sea. With Jimmy there was always a prank, a laugh, a smile, an adventure. Jimmy cared, he was there for others to support and lend a hand. He did not have a selfish bone in his body. Our journeys and adventures together created memories that will last forever. Jimmy treasured his wife and his family and always made his friends feel like family. Jimmy, we love you. Rest In Peace, until we meet again 🙏With Heartfelt Sympathy and Love,Mary Ann and Paul
My condolences and deepest sympathy to the Salvino family.
