Brian, Mary Ann, John and Kathy:
I was very saddened to read of Jim’s untimely passing and my prayers are with you. It is difficult to express in words all of my feelings about Jim's passing. Our families have connections through three generations: your grandmother went to grade school with my grandfather, your mom went to high school with my father, and I went to school with Jim. Unfortunately, living out of the area, I had not seen Jim since we graduated from high school. I will always remember our times growing up in the old neighborhood with its cast of unique characters (who will remain unnamed) and getting our fingers whacked by the good sisters of Saint Lawrence. I have vivid memories of the mischief Jim (and Johnny) and I got into in our early years and these will be part of me forever.
May your pain of Jim’s passing be short-lived with your knowledge that his suffering is now over and he is in peace. God bless you all.
