My sister Kelly and I were at the Petrosky’s house almost daily growing up. I have memories of Jim being a kind, gentle man who always seemed to have a smile on his face. I send my deepest sympathies to the entire Petrosky family. ~ Julie Brown Sheil
My deepest sympathies to the entire Petrosky family.
John and I are so sorry for your loss.
Dearest Gee, Janie, Charlotte, Becky, and your beautiful families, Kent and I send our love to all of you during this time of great loss. Jim’s love for his bride and his girls was evident every single day of his life. He was the most dedicated husband and dad one could ask for. We will always be grateful for the love and care he and Gee extended to Julie and Kelly during their formative years. I believe they spent more time in the Petrosky home than our own home. As parents, we could not have picked a better example of humanity and love for our daughters to be surrounded by.
May the difficult days ahead be filled with beautiful and tender memories of his love and dedication to all of you.
With love,
Kent and Dolores
We will forever remember the special family times together as Luke and Lindsay began their own life together… engagement party, graduation parties, wedding! Beautiful Family!
