I am so very saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I always enjoyed working with Jim over the past 15+ years in the cone business. He was definitely someone who could brighten my day with a call or email! My deepest sympathy to his family. He was one of the great ones!

To The Denaro Family-
We were so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He fought his lymphoma for a long time and I am so glad that Dr. Brown was able to guide him all these years. He was always a pleasure to see around the Dallin area, and the kids knew that your house was a good house to run to if anything was ever wrong. Although it has been awhile, I am sure you have many good thoughts coming your way from Arlington. Please stay safe and take care. <3 Michele, Jim, Rebecca, JJ and Edward Hassler

Dear Beth and family,
Thank you for letting us know of the recent passing of Jim. He was a good friend of our community of Sisters, Daughters of St. Paul. I always enjoyed seeing his smile whenever I visited him, and then at the convent we all enjoyed his ice cream cones! May our merciful Savior comfort you all, and bring Jim to Heaven to receive his eternal reward.
With the prayers of all the Sisters. Sincerely in Jesus and Mary.
