Great guy honest , sincere , educated great family man RIP

Jim was a coach for my son's Little League team where I observed his positive influence on the players, and also his outgoing sideline demeanor with parents and families. Reading his obituary, I was impressed, but not surprised, by all he had accomplished in his life, one of empathy, sharing and caring.
I send Konnie and the family my heartfelt sympathy.

Dear Konnie and Peter. I met you all about 10 years ago. Jim was an engaging and wise man. I always appreciated his insight. His support for you both was very apparent. I am so sorry for your loss. While we have lost this amazing man, we know hell be waiting for us at our eternal home. May God comfort you. Sincerely, Bonnie Johnson

Konnie we are so very sorry for your loss, sending prayers for you, Peter and his wife.

Konnie, Peter and family. We were depy saddened to read of Jim's passing. We knew Jim to be a kind, gentle and caring man. He treated everyone with respect. We especially loved seeing him in the Worcester parades - a proudly marching veteran. We wish you peace and kindness at this time. Carolann & Dennis Bombard

Dear Konnie,
So sorry for your loss. I keep many fond memories of Jim ranging from interacting with him at UMass Medical, to appreciating his support of St Mary's Church, and of course always seeing him by your side supporting your political accomplishments. He was truly a gentleman.
