It has been four years now and I think of you often, especially at the 5 o'clock Mass. Our 60th reunion is in a month and naturally your classmates will be there and we will speak of you and the good person you were and how you would help people. I still include you in my prayers and hope that you will look down and smile at us. Pro Nobis.

Linda & Family,

So sorry to read about Jim's passing in the Northampton Township Parks & Recreation Magazine. He was a good friend who I enjoyed talking to at St. Vincent's Masses. We had some great memories from our sons playing baseball together at Northampton. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and the family.

I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Jim was
a friend of over sixty years. We met in high school and were in the same class at West Catholic. We even went to the 50th reunion together.
I admire Jim for his many good qualities. He was a good Catholic man with a wonderful sense of humor. God bless you dear friend.

Donahue Family,

Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your husband, father, and grandfather. You have all been like family to us in fact your father used to call my mother Lil' Sis which I presume was because he only had brothers, nonetheless she always has, and will, cherish that deeply. We have fond memories of your father growing up (Basketball, Christmas Eve, Tennis, etc...) and more recently while grieving my father's loss. The first, and most difficult/emotional, call I made following my fathers passing was to your father. I underestimated how hard that call would be and it was such a surreal moment between us as neither of us could speak for a few moments. We were also honored to have your father as an alter boy for my fathers funeral mass. He was a special man that left a lasting legacy on all of us. On behalf of my family, please accept our deepest condolences and always know he, and you, will have a special place in our hearts.
