Jim was a wonderful brother and uncle to my children and grand children! He was very special to his niece and godchild Terri who was born on his birthday. We always looked forward to our family gatherings! He will be greatly missed!

The loss of such a vibrant and youthful personality is incomprehensible to me.
Jim was the first friend I made in Michigan when I relocated to Michigan from Texas in July of 1979. Our initial meeting was a hilarious case of mistaken identity that marked the beginning of nearly 50 years of shared belly laughs.
I cherish the memories of raucous laughter, intense political debates, deep discussions about life, silly practical jokes and his priceless observations.
James E. Kostrzewa was one-of-a kind and quite simply irreplaceable .

To Jim's family, we send our condolences on your loss. Though us cousins seldom got to share time together, when we did, it was always a great time, running around the yards, playing games. and probably a lot of eating, because our moms did like to cook.
I remember Uncle Bab taking Betty Oczepek and me, Patty Matuszewski, putting us up for the night when Betty and I wanted to go to Canada and shop. We were pretty big deals, 18, any thought we could do anything. Uncle took the whole family to Susie Q's for dinner, and topped it off with a banana split that fed the whole gang.
Wrap yourselves in all the good memories you have of your dad and don't let his spirit leave you.
Love, Patty Matuszewski DiMercurio (Aunt Virg and Uncle Smitty's oldest daughter and Paul DiMercurio.

I recall the many times Jim & Andy sitting on the porch on the white rocker, telling jokes, discussing life and sharing friendship. RIP, Jim and I pray your buddy was there with open arms and a smile, welcoming you to paradise. Love & Sympathy, Renee K

Jim and I worked together as a great team at MITECH+ encouraging many to pursue fulfilling careers in technical skilled areas such as welding. I so enjoyed Jim’s support, insight, and humor. What a special guy he was who I will always remember with great admiration.
