Uncle Jim,
You have always been the best. I will miss our conversations evolving around who is the best-We both know that it will always be the Red Sox! You have always been a true Yankee's fan, and for that I will never understand you! You will always be a part of me and I sadly will miss you. I'll always remember your special visits to Vermont, and will hold your memory in my heart. I love you.

Go with God my friend and bless those you left behind . I will love you allways.

I have known Jim for over twenty years. He was a very kind person and had a wonderful sense of humour. He was a dedicated family man raising many children with his wife Prudence. He always loved to be with his children and many grand children. I will miss his caring ways and joyful demeanor. It has always been an honor to have him as a father in law and to call him Dad.
Sadley missed but joyfully remembered.
