Not sure what to say?

Never will forget his kind and helpful ways. Made this planet earth a better place for sure. My late father was born on Feb 16th also, a great day to enter life on. Jim, you were the best!

oh my goodness, it's so hard to believe it's almost one year..we miss you so much at our train meetings...I am so lucky to have known you.... dennis and judy

Karen- Love has no beginning-no end- it's a circle we come from, then return to- in the sweet by and by-we'll all be back together- if i can help you-call me- love to all- jan

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. May your memories comfort your heart; and God help the Donnelly family during this time of sorrow. Isa.41:13

My fun and tireless neighbor we will always remember your graciousness and kindness. His love of life and family was evident and extended to friends and neighbors. He would offer his time and many machines to help others during snowstorms and power outages. I consider him a true and honest man with a huge heart that was as big as his love of outdoor trains. Goodbye and farewell Jim, we will always remember you as a great soul and one that is now joyous in God's kingdom, peace is now with you.

Dennis and I can't begin to express the amount of sorrow we are feeling on Jim's passing. It is so hard to believe that his awesome smile and wit is gone, it is not going to be the same without his presence at our train gatherings. We will miss him terribly, we are proud to have called him our friend.

Karen, Michele and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Jim was all a source of laughter for all that knew him.

Lydia, Corey and Kadence O'Donnell

I didn't get to know you very longl, but you challenged me with the most appropriate ideas. I wish we'd had more time...

To Karen and all Jim's family I can't express how sorry I am for your loss. I'm sorry that I won't be able to be with you during this tuff time, I'm leaving for Florida on Thursday. I want to send all my love, prayers and hugs to get you through this rough time. Jim was a very special person in our lives and will be missed very much.
