Dear Heffernan Family,

With great sadness I send my deepest sympathy to the family. James (Jim) was my supervisor during my tenure at the Supervisor of Ship Building in groton, CT. I have nothing but fond memories of our working relationship at Sup. Ship. I will remember Jim as one of the best supervisor I've ever had in my working career. May God's blessings and the memories of Jim support you forever!

w/Sincere Sympathy,

To The Heffernan Family:

I met Jim when I was only 16 and working a summer job at SUPSHIP. Jim eventually became my boss a few years later. We always had so much fun. After he retired I would see him often at Target and around town. I will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My sincere sympathy to the Heffernan Family. I worked with Jim at Target for a few years. He was always such an easy going guy. He always made us laugh as well. God Bless You All and may time heal your heart.

My sincere sympathy to the Heffernan
Family in the passing of Jim. I worked with his father at SupShips many years ago, and Jim was a chip off the block of his Dad. I played basketball with Jim while he was employed at EB Div. long before his SupShips career. Jim lived a full and exciting life, and enjoyed a good party. A great guy. I am sure you have great memories of him to fill your hearts, which I hope gives you strength at this difficult time. My prayers are with you.
