Not sure what to say?

Dear Peggy & Family,
we just found out about Jimmy's passing. We was like a 'big' brother to us, Gloria, Dee, & Rosemarie (Bruno)when we were growing up on 62nd & Lansdowne. We had a lot of good times when he stopped by after work from GE & Mom would cook him pasta.

He will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My parents, Joe & Anna McFadden, were your neighbors on Lawrence St. and they always liked all of you. I remember my mother being sad when you moved.

Jim was such a nice man and it was always a pleasure talking to him.

May God bless all in this time of sorrow.

Kilgallen Family: So sorry to hear of your loss.Jim was a wonderful man. A credit to the Irish; and to St. Thomas More High School. Ar dheis de' go raibh a anam.

Peggy and family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We have such fond memories of Jim, when we were neighbors on Lawrence St. in Olney. We will continue to keep you in our prayers.

Well Jim, Peggy and family, I’ve known you one too many years and I will miss you. You are in heaven shining down on us this day. My hope is heaven is everything you expected and more. Our Lord I am sure was standing there with a big Gaelic sign in hand "Cead Mile Failte" (A hundred thousand welcomes) You are now home. We will pray to you for strength and guidance, please keep an eye on us for years to come.

What will St. Paddy’s day be like this year of 2010, it will not be...
