Jim's death has left me with heartache. I was Jim's "48-man" in 1967-68 in the 6th District in Center City when he was a corporal. We became lifelong friends. I'll never forget him. He was a wonderful boss, teacher and good, good man. My condolences to his family.

Last night we went to St Joseph's Manor to visit your Dad. We were shocked and so sad to hear the news of his passing. He was a wonderful room mate for my Dad. He always had a smile and a funny story. Our hearts and prayers go out to each of you.
What a wonderful devoted family. Love, Sue and Jack Reed
Our Dad is Don DeVore from Moss now at Rydal park. We have not told him this sad news.

Hadn't seen Mr. Walsh in over 30 years. Was fortunate to see him "working hard" at Isabelle's Bakery in Avalon this past summer. He was so proud! Without hesitation, he remembered my name and he didn't miss a beat. My condolences to you all.
