Not sure what to say?

I still remember Jimmy as a teenager at our house in Manomet making life exciting and fun for us litle kids and then as young 20 something vacationing in White Horse Beach...he was ready with a smile, a laugh, and a quick joke....he lived life it seemed to me as a young girl, lightly.

I am sorry to hear of James' passing. He was a funny young boy and young man. I remember he and Tommy coming to Manomet to live with us for awhile one summer. That was a fun and exciting time. Later on, as a 20-something, he always remembered to come over and say "Hi" when staying at White Horse Beach. He was quick with a joke and a laugh. Bless James and bless his family.

My condolences to the killilea family. James was a good friend from long ago.

Thoughts and prayers with all the Killilea family during this sad time. May the good memories help sustain you.

I was very sorry to read of James passing.He was a funny, opinionated man on politics or any subject. His Mom was the First Gold Star Mother and his brother Frannie the first to sacrifice his life for his country in Viet Nam from Mission Hill. I admired Mr. Killilea and John. I feel very nostalgic about the Killlea Family. My sincere condolences to Cathy , Tommy and the entire Killilea Family. May James rest in peace. Sincerely, Richie Stanton

There will never be another like Jimmy, one of my favorite people in the world. Jimmy knew more about politics and sports than anyone, and was happy to discuss almost any subject at the drop of a hat. His favorite subject though was his family and his children, and he was very, very proud of his kids and the wonderful adults they all grew into. Jimmy was a pleasure to know and be around, and there will never be another like him. Rest in Peace Commissioner, and may God Bless your family during...

Dear Cath,
There are so few words to say at this difficult time. My sincerest condolences to you, Matt, Meghan, Mary Kate and your family. James has always and will always hold a special place in my family's heart. May Gold hold him in the palm of his hand. God bless you all.
With Love,
Mary Ellen
