Not only has his family lost a very generous man so has his COYFC family, please pass our condolences on to his family.

My heart goes out to Jimmy's family. I am honored to have been his friend and to have been able to coach along side him for the past years. Jimmy cared so deeply about the kids, his fellow coaches, the Charter Oak orginization, and the Game. He was and will always be both a friend and a mentor to me. Thank you so much Jimmy.

Jim was an unselfish and wonderful coach to our son Alek for 4 years. Alek had the best time under Coach Jim. Jim was also an invaluable help to our cheer group as well at our two competitions. He went out of his way to work all day for the league. Jim will always be remembered fondly by our family. We were lucky to know Jim and his kindness to both football players and cheerleaders was outstanding.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family and will always appreciate his dedication to our son.

Fondly,

The Karpuzyan Family

Arsham, Alek, Maddie, Isabella and Neynna

I have many fond memories of Jimmy but a lasting one happened two years ago. We had scaled our Halloween party back to a smaller private party that included dinner and Bunco. Well, we forgot to tell Jimmy and Vera that it was no longer a custome party. They showed up as Frankenstein and his bride. As you can imagine there was a lot of ribbing and teasing going on - both ways. Jimmy was a sport about it and poised for many picture with us all infact he won "Best Costume".

With football Jimmy truly was there for the children and I can honestly say that I do not remember a time that Jimmy wasn't there when we asked for help.

His kind spirit, his wonderful personality and that infectious smile and giggle will never be forgotten.

To his family, friends, co-workers and all those he coached or coached with, I am sorry for your loss. But I know Jimmy had a relationship with the Lord so our loss is the Lord's gain.

God bless you Jimmy and thank you for enlightening all of our lives, you will be missed.

Respectfully yours,
Tony Giesegh
