Dearest Mrs. McGowan and Family,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. What a devoted man he was to all of you. I can picture his telephone truck sitting in the driveway and can see him smoking one of those smelly cigars.
Kind rememberences to all of you. Love, Kathy Fay

To Suzanne & Family,
I can't remember if I had the pleasure of meeting your dad all those years ago when we were classmates. But, I know he was a good father and a good friend, because of the love and respect he is being given here. He will always be with you, in your hearts & memories. My prayers & condolences on your loss of this wonderful person.

Jim was a very nice guy. In the early 80s I worked with him at 30 Mystic St. in Arlington. He was at the end of his career and I was at the beginning. He advised me to get an outside job at New England Telephone for higher pay . I did and I am still with what is now Verizon nearing the end of my career. I will let others who knew him of this bad news. Very Sorry for loss.
