I'm sorry I ran into you only once in the years since you coached us. That was a very special time for us and for you. You created an environment where we were able to push each other's limits and beat our own expectations of what we could be as a team. My best wishes and prayers to you and your family.

Truly a good man and greater teacher. You knew where you stood with Mr. Mahoney and he was always fair with the students. Belmont was a better place to grow up with people like Jim Mahoney. May God rest his soul and watch over his family, Bernie Fallon Belmont Mass.

I've known you since I was a little boy, and you were always a great guy. Like you, I became a teacher, coach and trainer. Knowing how your students and athletes loved you, makes me proud of you and happy for me because that is what all teachers strive for, but few attain. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Papa! You are one of the good ones my friend. I can't imagine not seeing your smile or hearing that evil snicker. I can visualize you doing your "Papa" dance, waving your arms and high stepping with those God awful chicken legs of yours! You are a special man, a friend to all and you will be missed. Love ya, Big Fella!
