My own Dad, who has also passed and who deeply treasured Jim's friendship, would be happy to know that when I next give to St. Jude, I will give a little more than otherwise as a nod to this special old buddy of his.

I just learned of Jim's passing when trying to confirm for a relative whether he had indeed been employed as a CPA at Cooper's etc.
Jim Meehan was a treasured high school friend of my father, Stephen Hudak ("Pete"). I was privileged to meet him and Claire at my dad's burial in Wilkes-Barre, PA in 2007.

Our deepest condolences to you during this most difficult time. May your memories comfort you and may our Lord's love give you peace. Our prayers are with you.
