Not sure what to say?

So sorry for you loss and that we found out so late. We will always remember his tremendous care for Aunt Jo and Uncle Ray. You will be in our thoughts, Mary and Jeff Brazeau

I first met Jim in the mid 1980's, he was president of the Florence Civic and Business Association and I was new to the group. Jim made those first meetings much easier for me and we continued our friendship through the years. Soon I knew Sigrid, Kurt and Chris and that friendship continues on. Jim felt very strong about the village of Florence and supported, both directly and indirectly, many of our annual events including all our parades.

We never get to keep the best for very long. I have such fond memories of your Dad when we were growing up! Florence will never be the same! My sincere condolences to you, your Mom and Kurt! He is stealing the show at the party up there too. Loved your Dad!

My daughters, Tracy and Jennifer (nee Bouchard) and I have fond memories of Jim as a neighbor in Florence in the 1970's and 1980's. We are sorry for your loss.

My sympathy to all the Brazeaus--Jim was a great guy!

i met mr brazeau at the cummington fair when my mother -in-law signed my son up to win racing pigeons (of course he won a pair). my son had him as a substitute teacher in leeds and jfk. he will be greatly missed.

We are so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. We have such fond memories of Jim and family, especially in our younger years. He was so kind to Samon and I. So many memories we will cherish for ever.

My children always enjoyed when he was their substitute teacher. He shared fascinating stories from his life which they still remember. What a gift.

He always smiled and you could tell he was happy. As Past Potentate Edgar and Anne Gelinas we spent time knowing him at Shriners for years. Nice man and great family too. Our sympathy and love to all family members.
