I know you have heard my thoughts of you as the days have passed. We did some crazy things together over the years. Wonderful memories I so enjoy. I'm not going to lie. The World is missing a great hearted person now that you passed.
I think of you so often. How we would have enjoyed our retirement together on the Golf links!
Hope you and Harry are enjoying some Heavenly golf.
I look forward to seeing...

Dear Nancy, Lauren, Scott, and families:
Please accept our condolences and prayers. We were heartbroken to hear Jimmy had passed and sorry we could not be there with you to celebrate his life. He truly did live life to the fullest, always with a smile or a bear hug for a friend. Lauren and Scott, we watched you both grow up and please know how proud your dad was of both of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

To the McConaghy family,
I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Just the other day, I saw a bread truck on Central Avenue, and thought of Jim. I had not seen him in awhile. I first met Jim while working in the stores that he delivered to. We ran many a mile together on the roads. May he Rest in Peace.

Nancy, Scott, Lauren, and all family and friends. It was a pleasure speaking about Jimmy today with all of you. I hope this little keep sake of my memories will help you. As this day comes to a close, my thoughts are with the McConaghy family.
As I rose to speak on behalf of myself and my family, I also spoke on behalf of the 1972 Class of Tolman High. I spoke of how we came to be friends some 37 years ago. How Jimmy's Smile and laughter could brighten any room he was in.
I...
