James E. "Jim" Martineau

I was a friend of Jim's and enjoyed his humorous e-mails he would always send me. He was a very kind and generous person

It was always a pleasure seeing Jim at our reunions. Good times about wrestling for South High..

I remember when Jim came up to the cabin and I took him out fishing, we went out and caught some really big blue gills. The basket was so heavy I asked the neighbor if I could borrow his wheel barrow. He was a really nice person.

I have known both Colleen and Jim for several years, and work with Colleen. Jim was always so positive and helpful to all he knew. you could always count on Jim to have a funny joke or some new invention in the wings. Jim had a huge heart and will be deeply missed. Jim made the best cookies and breads, all of us at work said he should have owned a bakery! My deepest thoughts are with the family.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

All through my childhood my father and Jim have been the best of friends. Jim had such a way of joking that you could laugh at cancer, make my Grandmother laugh at all his little ol' lady jokes and blush at the the same time.

I seem to remember pictures of Jim with wigs stuffed into the sleeves of his shirt and stuffed down the front of his pants.
He was part engineer, he could make a shower out of a plastic tool cabinet.
The world was a lighter happier place with him here. Now...

Jim hired me at Mercy. He was a great boss and friend. He is always remembered as a great friend.

I am going to miss your big smile, big hugs, and secret candy stash. See you later, my friend.
