James Bray

Jim was a character, quiet yet funny sense of humor. My parents Bill and Helen visited him for a few weeks many summers after their retirement. I visited once and he took us for a nice cruise in his boat through Bristol and Newport. Loved clam digging there, made some great chowders but Jim knew all the great restaurants near by too. He was well known by many in the area. Will be missed but he led a good life and he was loved.

I remember his garage in my youth living in So Attleboro. In the 1960's when my friends and I (all under 10 years old) would ride our bikes. We would stop by his garage for help with our bicycles. Instead of chasing us away he would put air in our tires or give us the oil we needed for or chains. Little things, yes, it made a last impression on me that I still remember his kindness after all these years.

Thoughts and prayers are with you Dotty Jo in this time of sorrow. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. God bless. Elizabeth Clement
