I worked with Jim from 1983 to 1991 and shared many great times, both in the office and away. he called me this April after over 15 years without contact, and we spoke laughed and reminisced for an hour and a half. I sent him an email tonight to get together, when my email was returned undeliverable, I feared the worst and searched only to find the obituary. I am devastated and so so sorry for your loss Zachary, Becca and Kyle. I am deeply saddened at this news. I will always remember Jim fondly as an old friend and a good soul. He spoke so proudly of his kids during our phone call (I met them when they were very small in Milford, NH), and sent a picture of you four, I will always have. I am so so sorry. I would have been there for the services had I known...may you have peace in his love for you and in his memory. Godspeed my old friend. Godspeed

To Jim's family,
What a wonderful man! So sorry for your great loss. Jim often spoke very highly of his children, he was a very proud father and good man. I remember well just last holiday season how he brightened the day of many when he would play his harmonica for us. He also recanted stories of how he and his mother would do it yearly for the nursing home guests. Jim will be missed by many.
