I met Fr. Jim at the worst moment of my life, when my daughter was dying at Lowell General Hospital. She was airlifted to Children's and didn't survive (a 6 week old girl). He was an amazing source of strength and comfort at the lowest point in my life. He said the graveside mass for my daughter and then 2 and 4 years later baptized my two other children. HE WAS AN AMAZING GIFT from GOD. I thanked God for him everyday. I am deeply saddened by his death. I wrote him a letter recently because my 18 year old son is becoming a firefighter, he always kept in touch over the 20 years. I will miss him.

Dear Sue, Kathy, and family,
I can only imagine what you are going through at this time. I pray that Christ will fill your hearts with peace to help you to get through these most difficult days following the funeral.
I think of Fr. Jim often, and I know that he is at peace with God. I have so many warm memories of him. I only wish that I had been able to see him one more time.
When Fr. Jim came to Notre Dame de Lourdes in Lowell, he brought his many gifts to our parish. After talking with him just a few times, I realized that he was a one-of-a-kind priest; I have yet to meet another priest like him. He was such an honorable man who gave so much to everyone he met, including the many firefighters, police, nurses, patients, and doctors with whom he worked so closely. He was loved by the parishioners of Notre Dame, and by so many of the residents of Lowell.
When Paul and I decided to get married, I was so happy that Fr. Jim could officiate. He knew the ceremony was the most important part of our wedding day, and he made the day unforgettable with the personal attention he gave to us, especially in his wedding homily. I took out our wedding pictures the other day, once again to see his smiling face. I will always remember him that way.
You are in our prayers as this long healing process begins. May those who surround you be the strength and support you need at this difficult time.

I'm not sure if Father Jim's family will read this or not, but I hope they do. I moved to Dexter a couple years ago and Father Jim was my Priest. I never really talked to him for the first 2 years. 5 days before he passed away, I was at Subway and he was in line in front of me. He recognized me and started up a long conversation with me. He told me he wanted to get to know all of his parishioners. At mass later that night when I went to receive the Host, he said "The Body of Christ, Jared." I called home telling my family about how awesome it was that my priest "personalized" the host for me, and how he had remembered my name from our conversation earlier that day. That really meant a lot to me. I also really enjoyed listening to Father Jim at mass and know he was a great man.

To the Family of Fr. Jim,
Words cannot express how much he will be missed. He is the only preist that my kids felt that they knew as they are 7 and 9 so he is the only preist that they remember. When he was on vacations and my girls saw someine else walking down the aisle they would always ask "Where is Fr. Jim?" Fr. Jim always spoke highly of all of his family. My deepest sympathies and prayers are with all of you in this time of sorrow.

To the family of Father Jim,
I would like to repeat what I wrote to the funeral home's site. I was deeply touched by Father Jim's caring, kind and thoughtful care for my beloved mum, the late Marie Cummings. She enjoyed his company and spoke highly of him even before being diagnosed with cancer. His support and kindness at the end meant the world to her.
Father Jim spoke at my mother's burial and stayed after, even though his schedule didn't allow it. He spoke to all five girls and two neices as we each expressed memories of my mum. Father Jim then related touching stories of his time with mum and also of his memories of his own two beloved parents. It brought tears to my eyes at last(they had been bottled up before then).
Sometimes, you see the beauty, kindness and honesty of people only in your darkest hours, so, Father Jim, I miss you and respect you so much. My mother and you will be smiling in Heaven together.
Sincerely,
Linda Joyce

As part-time, out of state parishioners, we saw Fr. Jim as a major infulence in our spiritual growth. Never have we experienced a homilist better than Fr. Jim, to guide us in the right spiritual direction.
We introduced ourselves to him years ago, had not been to Maine for a year after that. Yet he still remembered our names once we returned. That was Fr. Jim.
Our heartfelt prayers for him, his family, and parishioners.

Our deepest sympathy to the Robichaud Family, Fr. Jim was like a member of our family and will always be in our hearts, we all will miss him greatly. We opened our house and family to him when he came into Lowell knowing that he was far from home and if he ever needed a place to call his second home it was with us. He was a very gentle person who genuinely cared for other people and was always there for anyone who needed to talk. Our family and extended family worked with him on many occasions and every time it was a great pleasure to work with someone so passionate. Fr Jim has married a bunch of us and has even buried a few of us and we would not have had that any other way. We will miss him at our family functions with that infectious laugh of his and of course his Christmas letters and greeting cards every year. He was more than a friend and a priest he was part of us. May God bless Fr. Jim and give him the peace and comfort he has given to so many.

I met Father Jim when I worked at LGH in the nursing department. He was a wonderful priest and friend. I spoke to him often and he partly led me to the entering of the Augustinian Monks of the Primitive Observance where I have been a cloistered monks for the past 16 years. We will keep him always in our prayer and in our hearts. RIP fr. Jim.

Fr. Jim was an extraordinary man in many ways. I worked with him during my winters in Maine, and I have never met a more brilliant, devoted, and friendly man in my life. The last time we visited, he gave us a St. Christoper's medal for our motorhome. It was a wonderful day, and we are so happy to have that last memory. He was always going to come to our campground in NH with his sister, but he never got the free time. We are so saddened by the loss of this very special man.

Fr. Jim was a wonderful model of priesthood, and was a beloved fire chaplain. Ironically, it would be Fr. Jim to offer comfort and consolation to the firefighters should a similar traumatic event occur. St. Florian is embracing Fr. Jim for the journey to God's Kingdom.

My deepest condolences to you for your loss. Jimmy and I were close friends for many years having started at St. Augustine’s School together in 1957. We were both altar boys for many years and I had the privilege of serving many, many masses with Jim. I will always remember him as a friend. You will all be in my prayers.

In the few years that I knew Fr. Jim, I found him to be a caring, conscientious pastor, who kept going despite a monumental workload. May God grant him rest from whatever of pain and sadness brought about his untimely death, and may the communities he served find peace in the spirit of Christ in their grieving.

Susan, Kathy & Family, my sincere condolences on Jim's passing. Some years ago, he came to me for advise as he faced moving to Oakland Ca. He told me he loved his work and wanted to remain in the priesthood. My only advise was to write a letter to the Portland, Manchester NH, & Boston Bishops and tell them about his dilema. About six weeks later he called and was thrilled that he would be going back to Maine near family. He was a great person and a wonderful priest. He touched the lives of many in the Merrimack Valley and will be missed

I have had the privilege and honor of working with Fr. Jim at Notre Dame de Lourdes Church in Lowell, Ma. Fr. Jim is an honorable man that gave endlessly of himself to so many. His compassion for his parishioners and members of the community he served was commendable and his loss will be felt by many for years to come.
Rest in peace Fr. Jim, knowing that you left this community a better place. Although your time on earth has ended, your time in Heaven is just beginning as you take your rightful place with Christ.

Father Jim was a classmate of mine. I remember when I first thought about joining the Oblates, Jim and I had lunch with the provincial, Father Roger Roy, OMI. Together we ventured to Alton, ILL for our beginning stages of formation and onto Cambridge and Weston Jesuit. I remember comprehensives and Jim drinking pepto to ease his anxiety. He was a gifted preacher and extraordinary priest. He came to New Orleans to observe my skills as supervising chaplain with the New Orleans Police Department. Father Jim had a deep sense of the spiritual. He was loved by many. His family was VERY important to him. He spoke of Kathy often. I remember visits to his mother's house in Augusta. I can not write enough about such a humble priest. I will pray for him tomorrow and regret I can't be with you in person.

We belonged to St Anne's in Dexter and enjoyed Fr. Jim's sermons. He was very well spoken and a joy to listen to. He always greeted each of us in our family by name and with a strong handshake. Whenever he drove by our home he would beep and wave. He always took the time to listen to our boys. May he rest in peace. We are praying for your family.

My deepest sympathy to Father Jim's family. I had a summer home in Sangerville, Maine until last year. I always looked forward to Father Jim's sermon's, warm hand shakes , friendly smile, and quick wit. He always made me feel as though I was a close friend. I feel sorrow for all of us on losing this FRIEND. He was a great person and dedicated priest.

Sue & Kathy & Family I want to extend my deepest sympathy for the loss of your brother. I had the pleasure of not only working with him at St.Jean the Baptiste but also working for him for almost 10 years at Lowell General in the chaplain's office. He was an extroardinary man. I saw first hand all the good he did for so many people. He was instrumental in helping my family and he will forever hold a place in my heart. We were very good friends and shared both good and bad in both our families. His compassion and strength were unmatched and he will be forever missed by many. In our many conversations he spoke so lovingly of his family. He touched the lives of so many people and I hope with all my heart that the love coming from so many people will help you through this very difficult time. And he is looking down on you both and your families and will somehow help you to get through this. He is at peace now and together with your parents will comfort you. You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers.

Susan, Mark and Kathy, and your children. Our family is so saddened by Fr. Jim's death. When we started going to St. Thomas, he asked about our children, who had already run ahead to the car, and the following week, remembered and called them each by name. He also made a point to get together with our boys after their high school graduation as a kind of "celebratory lunch" at a local eatery. He gave so much of himself, and helped others find their gifts as well. He will be missed.

I always loved Father Jim and was very sad when he left my parish to go back to Maine. I was an altar server at Notre Dame in Lowell, and I actually served at his first mass at Notre Dame. It was my first time serving alone and I remember Fr. Jim told me we would both make it through. And we did.
Fr. Jim was easy to talk to and always made me feel welcome. He was always understanding and spoke beautifully at mass. He made the religion come alive. I know I speak for many when I say he will be missed.

Dear Kathy, Sue, Mark and family,
I know that Fr. Jim was a wonderful priest; as you know, he said the funeral mass for both of my parents. His sermons were personal and comforting at a time of great sorrow.
I, also remember him as my cousin, Jim, who teased me relentlessly while growing up together and always made me laugh.
His parishioners have lost a great priest; his family and friends have lost a great brother, brother-in-law, uncle and friend.
May you find comfort in knowing his wonderful legacy will live on.

Although not a member of his parish, Father Jim made himself known when he arrived in town at my store where Mark had sold me flooring. We quickly made friends, as he could easily do, and I eventually was given the priviledge of playing the organ at Funeral masses in Milo, Sangerville , and Dover-Foxcroft. He will be so missed by so many. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Father Jim will be truly missed. He touched the hearts of many people. He was a great man. He was with me and my family during our darkest hour when my Dad died and during my happiest hour when I married my husband, Mark. I served on the Finance committee with Fr. Jim for 11 years for Notre Dame de Lourdes even before he was the pastor. We believe he is with God now. We were so sad to hear he passed away. He did so much good for so many people. He gave so much of himself to others until there was nothing left to give. We hope people remember what a special man he was. He will live in our hearts forever
