Not sure what to say?

Jim played on my team at the last 80s game in May and shared our locker. It was a thrill for all of us who love hockey to be able to play with peers at our age. He was a great team mate for that game and we had plenty of laughs. Reading his obituary we had a lot in common. I also am an electrical engineer and avid woodworker. I wish I had of know him better. Every game is a blessing and he played it to the end. Sorry for you loss.

Dear Jimmy,
I was very sorry to hear that your father passed away, he was a nice man who we all will miss.
He is in heaven with your mom and my Dad. God Bless

My mother and family send thier condolences too.

You were always so kind to me, showed me how to steer the boat! My grandma always talked about you. You will be missed Jim.

What a great man and sailor. You will be missed.

Your dad and grandfather will be missed. I know it was sudden, but I hope it comforts you to know he went out doing what he loved, and he was surrounded by his loved ones. May he rest in peace and may you have peace as well. Our deepest sympathy, Mike and Leslee Deslauriers EGYC

Cousins Mary and Jimmy, Uncle Jim was a kind and gentle man with a keen sense and awareness. I enjoyed his presence in my younger years as well as an adult. He really like to get one thinking about the unseen and maybe a different approach to details. We had some interestin conversations over the years and in their own way, helped shape me. Im grateful for knowing him. At this time, i think too, of your mom Auntie Fran Fran. I also enjoyed seeing their love for each other. Much Love to you...

I have been a neighbor & fellow member of St. Joan of Arc Church since building my home near Jim. He was such a gentleman and amazing all he could do. I will miss seeing him in the neighborhood & at the 5 pm mass @ St. Joans. It was such a sudden passing for Jim but so beautiful to be exactly where he was happiest ; on his boat & with his family. God bless you all. He was a wonderful man and very special as he cared for your Mom.

Jim, Mary and Family. So sorry for the sudden passing of your dad. I have not talked to him in years but still remember us two Irishmen giving Jimmy a hard time. May he rest in peace as he sets sail towards the light on the horizon. Prayers to the family. Love Kevin.

You were watching down on your son and Grandson I know with immense pride as they raced in your honor this past Friday. You will be greatly missed by so many but mostly by your incredible family that you raised. Enjoy the sailing Captain...fair winds and following seas!
