Dan, Sue, Katie, and Christine, it's impossible to replace or forget a man like him. His life and the family he raised is a testament to his greatness as a person. It's painful to accept the loss, but just remember what a positive, loving impact he had on so many people. I will always remember his crushing handshake fondly.

Dan, sorry for your loss, I did not know your father, but knowing who you are he must have been a fine man and proud to have you for a son.
Warm regards Jim and Bonnie

Dear Jeffery Family,
I had the pleasure of knowing Jim from his position at the Stonington Town Hall Building Officials office. He oversaw my very first house project on Mystic Ave in Pawcatuck. A fine and honest and forthright gentleman. Rest in peace!
