Jim's Family, Sorry to hear of Jim's passing. For well over 20 years he was always a pleasure to chat with while he collected his cans. He was such a genuine soul, full of positive energy and young at heart. I loved talking about snowmobiling with him. He loved to tease me about me being in the "dog house" after buying my first snowmobile! He always asked about my kids and remembered all the things I told him about them. The world needs more people like Jim. Josh Yankee Boat Yard

Dear Sue & Family, So sorry for your loss. It was good to get to know him over the past 30 years. When I learned that he was your Dad, I told him we graduated together and I always said that when I saw you, you always had a smile on your face and seemed like a very happy person. He was a super friendly guy and I appreciated seeing him at my Mother´s funeral last year. God Bless.

My condolences to the Barry family I met Jim when I was the outside salesman for Page&Warner Auto Parts and I called on Jim at the Town of Portland and he was one of the nicest guys I met a pure gentleman I was just a salesman always treated me with respect they don´t make them like him anymore RIP Jim

Nancy, Robert, Michael & Sue, I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was the sweetest, kindest person. Always had a smile on his face whether I met him at the dental, church or Tri-Town/Adam's. Take comfort in his love for you, as he loved to fill me in on all of you when I met him in town. I hope the new year helps you find peace & comfort as you look for his signals. A star as bright as Jim can never be extinguished. God bless-

We are heartbroken to learn of Dee´s passing! Living next door for the past 23 years, he has watched our kids grow up, spent many summers talking over the vegetables from the gardens, and just enjoying each other´s company. Dee was more then a neighbor, he was a friend and a legacy that won´t be forgotten- we will miss you

My thoughts and prayers to the Barry family. I got to know Jimmy for his can collection. Such a nice man. I will miss running into him at Adams and giving him cans. Always smiling and friendly. Prayers to you all.

My deepest sympathy to you all. He was a wonderful gentleman, I will miss him and seeing his bright smile.
