Mr. Hurley was a patient where I worked at one time and was such a pleasure to talk with and always had a smile and a good sense of humor. I don't think that light will ever go out. : )

Sylvia, Lisa, Susan, Mary, Cheryl and all of Jim's loving family,

Words can not express how sad I am to hear of Jim's passing. We have all known each other for over 40 years. When I think of "The Hurley's" it brings a smile to my face thinking of all the great times we have had together over the years. Although we live miles apart, I have always thought of your family as my "other" family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. God Bless You Jim.
Love,
Ca
