James Robert Harley

I just found this almost 14 years later. Jim has been my spirit animal(hahahaha) and inspiration(sort of) since we met in college. We became best friends and caused so much trouble together but always just to get a laugh. I think about him still on a weekly basis and speak about him often. Truly one of the best souls I have ever interacted with. Much love my man!

Been thinking about my dad a lot lately. It's been 11 years and I miss and think about him each and every single day. It really brings me joy to go through and read all of these. It's really inspiring seeing how many peoples lives he impacted and I strive to be like him everyday. Hope your all doing well and I miss you dad. Hope your doing well up there!

Thinking of Jim and his family this holiday season. Hope you’re having a ball up there in heaven.

I interned at the Broome County Probation Department in 2008 while I was a Senior at Binghamton University. Jim was my mentor. No matter how tough the situation, he always kept me laughing. He inspired me to pursue working with high risk kids as a full time career. He loved his job... and those kids on PINS loved him even more. I cannot say enough good things about Jim.

Mary and family - I am so sorry for your loss. He loved you and the kids so very much. My heart is truly...

TO THE HARLEY FAMILY NO WORDS CAN HEAL THE PAIN FROM YOUR LOSS . BUT I WANTED TO SAY SOME THINGS ABOUT JIM HE WAS ASSIGNED TO MY 11 YR OLD SON WHO WAS PUT ON PINS BECAUSE OF SOME TROUBLES HE WAS HAVEING IN SCHOOL.. JIM HELPED MY SON FOR QUITE SOMETIME AND WHILE WORKING WITH JIM HE BEGAN TO TURN THINGS AROUND .. JIM CLOSED MY SONS FILE BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN DOING SO WELL THEN WE HAD MOVED AND MY SON STARTED THE SAME THINGS AGAIN HE NOW IS ON PINS WITH A DIFFERENT OFFICER WHOM HE IS NOT DOING SO...

God saw Jim was getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he Whispered, "come to me".
With Tearful eyes you saw Jim pass away. Although you loved him dearly, you could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke your heart to prove to you, He only takes the best.
With All My love. Christina

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Mary keep being the stong person I know you are. Jim is Smiling down from Heaven at you. I also want you to know that Jim is not in any more pain, sis you know Jim is with our sister Kathleen and they are watching over you... With all my love. Christina
