Christmas 2023

I've just read of Jim's passing, albeit four years after the fact. Jimmy was a good friend and neighbor of mine while he lived in Middletown, New York. I was in the process of trying to reestablish contact via the internet when I learned of his untimely passing. My deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved him.

My thoughts and prayer's go out to your family in this time of sorrow. God bless you all.

I am so very sorry for your loss. When I remember Jimmy it will be with a smile on his face...He was a genuinely nice guy and he will be missed. You are in my thoughts.

To Mr & Mrs Mara, Ray Jr. and Family,
My heart goes out to you at this time. Loss of a loved one is never easy but try to remember the good times you had together and those memories can last forever. Please take peace with the fact that he rests with the Lord and will watch over you until you are joined again.
With my heartfelt sympathy,
Shawn McDonnell

To Raymond, Helen, Ray,Jr. and Family,
Our hearts were broken to hear of the passing of your son and brother. The times spent in Greenwich with James and Raymond were some of the best and will be forever cherished in my memory. May you gain some peace in the knowledge that he is resting gently in God's arms and will forever be watching over you.
With our deepest sympathy,
Michael and Sharon Rutledge

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time of tragedy. Jimmy always had a ready smile and was willing to lend a hand. I remember how much he enjoyed telling stories, and how I enjoyed listening to him. I will miss hearing more. He was a good man. Heaven has welcomed one heck of a Firefighter.

It was both an honor and privilege to have you as part of our lives - so many memories you have left behind.
We will remember you always!
