Ann & Buford and your family, Eddie & all your family and to his devoted son, Tracy & wife Sandy and children … my heart has been so saddened by events, I had to let time pass before signing the Guest Book. I want you to know you have all been an inspiration in Peewee’s life as he was to you all. Pee Wee and I had a special relationship. We didn’t see each other often but always knew in our hearts a deep affection no matter how much time passed or where our paths took us. We agreed ... no hassles, no problems, no grudges ... just enjoy life as much as you can, help whoever you can whenever you can and just do the best you can and, of course, joke and kid above all else! It is a blessing PeeWee is away from conflict and pain and he is at peace with our Lord. He is truly missed.
Love, Sister-in-law … Judy

Would like to extend my deepest sympathy to Angie, David and the family.
I know that at the present time, the pain of your loss hits heavy on the heart, but from the experience of lossing a father the old saying that time will heal all wounds is true, even thou at the moment you may not believe it but always know that your loved one is in a better place without pain. Keep all of your memories close to your heart and your memories will live on and one day you will think of one of those memories and you will shed tears but soon those memory will bring that shine to your eyes and a smile to your face. With peace there shall be happiness.
He will forever be in your heart forever

I had the privilege of meeting Pee Wee through his daughter Angela. She & I are high school friends. I was impressed by the way she talked about her father and I could not wait to meet him. On our first meeting he played his little funny tricks and I did not know how to take him. Over the years I got used to his tricks and loved to be around him because he made me laugh everytime. He truly had character. I am so glad I had the pleasure of being in his presence in my youth.Pee Wee made a tremendous impact on everyone and everything around him. He had the biggest heart I have ever seen and would always help anyone in need.
My sympathy is with Angela and her family in this time of grief. May your hearts heal knowing he is with Jesus.

Dear Angela and Eddie: Having known Angela when she was young and having worked with Eddie in the electrical field, I would like to express my sympathies in your loss of a father. It's always hard to lose a loved one, especially one that was so kind, funny, and caring as PeeWee. I'll never forget PeeWee as I worked with him for quite a few years. He was always encouraging and trying to settle me down when I got stirred up. I was a young electrician, and there was a lot to learn from his experience. He was a thoughtful and dear friend who stopped in from time to time to see how we were doing. When our girls were very young, he bought each of them a gift. Jeremiah 29:13
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Philippians 1:21
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Lovingly, Robbie Brown

James Francis Healey also known as Peewee to most,maried our mother Beverly Porter in 1968 and took on the responsibilities of a father to three boys who wasn't biologically his own. He had a daughter with Beverly in August 1972 Angela Healey. In Pewee's eyes and heart and 2 of the boys eyes and heart, Edward Porter and Gordie Porter, Pewee was their father because he was always there for them even after they grew up and became men and him and beverly got divorced in 1979.Peewee and his 2 sons remained close until peewee passed away on september 24,2009.In our eyes and heart he was a great man and a great father and he will be deeply missed. RIP.... DAD

Peewee and my family grew up on churchill. We were all like family with the sisters brothers and all uncles and aunts. Many great vacations with the two families going to BUCKROE BEACH in the back of the Healey'selectricial service truck. Sitting on picnic benches like a bunch of jail birds going to jail. Hot and sweaty but laughing all the way to and fro. God bless you Peewee for all the great times we shared as children growing up
