Not sure what to say?

My condolences to the family.
I remember Jimmy from grammar school and social gatherings (bond fires) of the late '60s.
He had the kind of social glue and zest for life that attracted many of us.
So sorry for your loss.

Jimmy was/will always be such a strong presence in my/my siblings earliest memories growing up in Douglas Manor, from Lifeguard Extraordinairre at The Club, the swimming team, actor in the water ballets and forever saling the high seas of Little Neck Bay. He had such la ove of tradition along with this little peninsula we call "home" and, above all, his wonderful family. He has left an indelible footprint on all who knew and loved him. Sail on, Jimmy!
Sending comforting thoughts to all...

JImmy was always at our teen parties in Douglaston. Wonderful days growing up there.
Remember his Dad trimming hedge with big hat on. How blessed we all were .Love to family; know he is with parents now.

We are so saddened to learn about Jim's passing. It was always fun to see Jim around the Manor. He never failed to ask about our dogs.the clowns. Jim was a very caring and friendly person who will be greatly missed. Take care. God bless.

Jimmy was a great guy and will be sorely missed by many. I remember his Dad driving Jimmy, my older brother Peter and myself to St. Mary's HS in Manhasset many a morning in the early 60's. great sense of humor and a fun loving guy.
I trust he is resting in the peace of Jesus' loving arms.

I remember the day Jimmy moved into 14 Arleigh Rd., across the street from us (the Carberrys). We went to "Miss McCarthy's Nursery School", and were in Miss Kenny's kindergarten class at St. Anastasia. I was so happy!
We played together all the time, and can't recall a disagreement or unkind word from him.

We did get into trouble sometimes, mostly due to my accidents (broken toe playing "Cat and Mouse" when the bench fell on my toe, and broke it; stitches needed because a toy rifle...

It’s been so many years since I saw Jimmy, but want to send condolences to his family. He’s sailing past the sunset now, where the wind always blows and the dolphins swim by the bow

My deepest condolences to Jimmy's family & friends. He was a Douglaston Manor legend
Rest in peace, Jimmy Mac
