Jimmie was a long time good friend of my late father Francis Crowley who was also from Ireland. I remember going over to Jimmie’s house as a little boy. He was quiet almost shy unlike most of my fathers Irish friends who were usually on the boisterous side. I liked him very much.

Jim was a very dear close friend of my father, the late Frank Crowley who was also from Ireland, in his case from Roscommon rather than Leitram . And Jim was always very cheerful and supportive of us children when we were young. He was a very handsome man. He would have made a good priest.
