To Pat, Sean and Carrie, So sorry for your loss. Your husband and father was such a great man. I met him just a few years ago when I moved in downstairs. He always had a smile and a great sense of humor. I will truly miss him. Please let me know if I can do anything for you during this difficult time for your family.

My condolences to the Healey family, friends and to our community. Mr. Healey was and will remain a part of my growth and development. He was a mentor, friend and leader. He set a wonderful example, for others to follow. Kind, friendly, humorous, gregarious, respectful , dedicated-all words Jim can be described with. He brought a smooth, golden voice to any meeting and ceremony he was part of. Our world is a lesser place without him. May he rest in peace and may we all be comforted by...
