James F. Kinhan

Much peace, love and light.

From the moment I first met Jim at South Church last year, his exuberance and joie-de-vivre lit up the room. His grace in the face of his terminal diagnosis continues to fill me with awe and admiration!

Rest in Peace Jim-Pat Lencki

We first met Mr. Kinhan through gatherings of Pete's Concord High friends. We fondly remember Mr. Kinhan as a jovial conversationalist, always taking a keen interest in our teen trials and tribulations and getting a deep level of enjoyment out of simply shooting the breeze. It was apparent to us then that Mr. Kinhan was not only a different kind of guy, but also a big reason behind all the great qualities that we came to appreciate so much in our friend Pete.

Peter...though I never met your Father, he clearing has made a positive impact on the lives around him. From what I have learned, he was brave, full of life and a creative individaul...I love his obituary! My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

Dear Ginny, Cathy, Maryellen, Kelly and Peter and to all your family,

Over the past 40 years our lives have sporadically crisscrossed and, always, Jim was a shining light with his ready smile and undaunted enthusiasm.

Jim called me last year to bake four loaves of bread for the soup charity;...

Ginny and family-
I am so inspired by Jim's exuberance in life! I worked with him in the kitchen @ South Church- He truly was a happy - generous human being! His joy was contagious-
You folks were a great team and I hope and pray you will be surrounded by your many South Church family members as you celebrate one fine guy!
Warmly- Becky Levick

I first met Jim when I volunteered at the Concord Mental Health Center in the late 60's or early 70's The Center was started by Terje Reinertsen, Tom Carson and Jim. I learned much from all of them as well as Dr. Anna Philbrook. I was hired and worked at the county jail and later emergency services and provided psychotherapy. At one time Jim and I led a group for single moms. These days that would be unheard of. He would like to see the fourth wave of feminism that is occurring now...
