I will not forget the great yard sales you had on Hadwen Lane, you always made something affordable for me to buy for my Mom. I also remember going out for ice cream at Newport Creamery. Sorry we loss contact throughout the years... You and Harry were one of best best neighbors on Hadwen Lane.

I lived next door to Jim and Harry when they lived on Hadwen Lane. They babysat my sister, brother and I, many times and they were my favorite adult neighbors. I remember the birds they kept and how they allowed me to watch Creature Double Feature whenever they were watching me. After they moved, I didn't see them very much but thought of them often. In fact, it became a running joke that whenever we were driving in the middle of nowhere, I would sincerely ask "Are we going to Jim and Harry's?"- I still say it sometimes to this day as a joke with my family. I saw them both not too long ago, said hello and updated them on my father, brother and sister. I'm glad I got to see Jim one last time. I'll keep Harry and both of their families in my prayers. God bless.

Let not the cup of pain overflow the heart, But seek for the joy .That remains in memories , Made sweeter by loving And knowing that loss is heaven's gain , Our thought are with you.

My sincerest sympathies to Jim's family & friends.
My father, Ron Cote worked with Jim many years ago at Worcester Controls.
I remember "Jimmy" with fond memories. My father passed away in 1983. Maybe they will befriend each other again in Heaven.

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.
