Not sure what to say?

Cheri and Family; I am so very sorry for your loss. Hold on tight to all of those memories until you meet again. Prayers and may Jim rest in peace, Amen.

My dad, Robert O'Neil was very good friends with JD. He always spoke very highly of him and his family. I remember coming to his house when I was little and he showed us how he moved a giant boulder to his river so he could hear the rippling from his window. I always thought that was awesome. So sorry to the family for your loss. We donated to the Santa Claus Girls in his honor. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
- Love, the O'Neil family
(Robert, Katie and Kelsey)

I am so so very Grateful for Uncle Jim and the family coming to see our part of the world. I enjoyed talking with him and Cheri under the trees at Lydgate Beach, Kauai sitting under the Sunny but cloudy sky. He was such a brilliant man and I love that My Mom always said " Alan, he is such an Uncle Jim" and that was a good thing when she said it. Brilliant and an Amazing Man. I wish I had more time to have spent with them but I know how happy my Mom was and is when they were here recently. ...

If I were to describe JD I would say a kind and gentle soul. I might not have known him really well but whenever the "group" got together he always had a kind word and something funny to say. My heart truly goes out to you Cheri. There are no words to express my sympathy for such a significant loss. Faith in Christ is the only way I know to get through. You have so many friends that love and care about you, don't hesitate to lean on them.

My fondest memory! Jim was such a good husband! He took care of Cheri with great care! When ever I went kayaking with Cheri, Jim would load up all our gear, take all of us girls to the river, get all the kayaks into the river, wait until we all took off, and then he would help us all out of the river when finished! He never complained, always was sweet as pie, and was there with a smile! Bless you Jim! May you Rest In Peace!

Our prayers are with the entire Doyle Family.
Jimmy was so loved by all of his sisters and parents. He will be missed by everyone who was involved in his life. Rest In Peace.

JD was a great co-worker. I will miss talking to him about his Projects and bouncing ideas back and forth. He was always on me about getting my 67 Camaro on the road again. I would say in due time, and he would say now is the best time, enjoy it now!
My condolences to his family. RIP my friend
