James M. Gately

My dad was a very good man who was always helping others.

I thank all of you for your kinds words and for the many kindnesses you gave to him and me.

His funeral Mass was beautiful. Thank you Rev. Msgr. Edward Zemanik and the members of St. Ambrose who allowed us to say goodbye to my dad in such a meaningful, prayerful way.

Ann and Family, I was so sorry to hear about the death of Jay. I always looked forward to our computer time at Barclay, or those days when we just sat and talked. He was interested in so many things and I loved reading/editing his recent books!

Ann,

Sorry to hear that Jim passed away. He was a nice man to deal with at the Rectory. So were you, Ann. I guess you got that good quality from your dad. Even though I am not at the Rectory anymore, still keep in touch.

My grandfather was an amazing man. He was always positive and wanted to make you smile. Family was so important to him, he would have done anything for me or my brothers. I fondly remember summer weeks staying with him and my grandmother, going to Hershey Park and Knoebels Gove.

His increadible work ethic and positive attitude have and continue to be a huge influence on my life. I hope to be the kind of man and have the kind of life he did as a father and grandfather. He will be...

Dear Ann:
We are so sorry to hear of the death of your father. I always enjoyed talking to him and George at the restaurant. Janet enjoyed baking all the goodies for them. Our deepest sympathy to your family. I received your card and our adress is the same.

Hello Ann and family,
So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He and his brother George probably has a first row seat at the Phillies games.
Love, Diane
Caregiver and friend of your dad and George.

We had the pleasure of living next door to Jim and Mildred from 1992 until he moved. We loved them both and couldn't have asked for better neighbors and friends. We are greatly saddened by his passing. He did love his Phillies and the Eagles too. And I agree with the previous comment that he was a poster child for the Greatest Generation. He was truly a wonderful human being.

I helped him pack up the house in Schuylkill Haven and really enjoyed spending that time with him. He wanted to donate his things to organizations in the county, which included Sch. Women in Crisis, the Salvation Army, the Round House and more. I'm grateful for the time I got to spend with this man, truly the poster guy for The Greatest Generation.

So sorry Ann to hear of Mr. Gately's passing. He was such a pleasure to deal with when he made his visits to the bank. Thank you for all that you did for him. Judi M&T BANK Exeter
